A large-scale Arctic mining operation built on advanced engineering, Indigenous partnership, and high-reliability systems. Located in the remote Kitikmeot region of western Nunavut.
Goose Mine is a billion-dollar gold production facility developed by B2Gold. Spread across more than 58,000 hectares the project is designed for year-round Arctic. WEE was engaged to design the mine’s fire alarm system a mission-critical safety component for an operation of this scale. Our work required engineering for extreme weather, remote logistics, high-integrity communication pathways, and seamless integration with life-safety, evacuation, and emergency power systems.

The design emphasizes resilience, simplicity of maintenance in remote conditions, and stringent compliance with mine-safety standards, ensuring reliable protection across a demanding industrial site. A resilient, safety-driven fire alarm system designed for one of Canada’s most challenging and remote industrial environments.
