Rio Tinto to build large-scale solar project in Canadian Arctic
Australia-based Rio Tinto says it will build a solar plant in Canada’s Northwest Territories to supply electricity to its Diavik Diamond Mine, which is located about 200 km below the Arctic Circle.

Rio Tinto said the new solar power plant will feature more than 6,600 bifacial PV panels. They will generate energy from direct sunlight and from the light that reflects off the snow. It is expected the facility will generate approximately 4.2 GWh of clean energy per year, or up to 25% of Diavik’s power needs.
Diavik Diamond Mine President and Chief Operating Officer Angela Bigg said the solar plant will significantly expand the operation’s existing renewable energy generation, which already features a wind-diesel hybrid power facility that has a capacity of 55.4 MW.
“We will be significantly increasing our renewable power generation with the largest solar power plant in Canada’s northern territories,” she said. “The combination of solar and wind power will work well together as solar is more predictable than wind, but wind can generate power at all times of the day. Having both will provide more consistent renewable generation.”

Very interesting, so if it is pragmatically possible then it's worth exploring if it would be suitable for our situation to make our copper "cleaner". That would facilitate more government support and in turn less dilution/debt.
