At B2Gold’s Goose mine in Nunavut, Canada, mining is shaped as much by distance and climate as by geology. For most of the year, temperatures sit well below freezing, with winter dominating the calendar. In the coldest periods, wind chills can drop below –50°C, placing constant strain on both people and equipment.
