By 1984, the company had markedly grown in reputation, size and capability through successful completion of Brunswick #12 shaft and Dome #8 shaft, and had become synonymous with the Arctic Region through highly demanding projects at Polaris, Nanisivik, Lupin, Raglan in the Canadian Arctic and Black Angel in Greenland.
Redpath has completed 500+ shafts and 200+ km of shaft, with 108 projects across 81 sites, serving 63 clients in 12 countries. The company has designed, fabricated and operated mechanized raise climbers since 1975 and operates the industry’s largest underground raise mining equipment fleet. Redpath’s dynamic teams apply ever-evolving best practices to optimize safety and productivity. The company’s foundational motto Safety, First, Last and Always remains central to operations. Redpath provides expertise in high-quality mining in extreme climate situations and has broad experience using split-feed jumbos in lateral development projects.
