About Us
Birch Mountain is developing the industrial mineral potential of our extensive mineral properties in the oil sands region north of Fort McMurray, in northeastern Alberta. Limestone from the Muskeg Valley Quarry, (MVQ) is being marketed as construction aggregates and as rock for making concrete and asphalt. Reagent grade limestone can be used directly in applications such as flue gas desulphurization. With the Hammerstone Project the limestone will be processed as quicklime for flue gas desulphurization, water treatment, pulp and paper manufacturing, and soil and biosolids stabilization. Birch Mountain believes the strong global demand for oil and the heightened profile of Alberta's oil sands will ensure long-term demand for our limestone products.
At its inception in 1995, Birch Mountain was a traditional junior mining exploration Company. We obtained properties in Indonesia, British Columbia, the Yukon Territory, Manitoba and Alberta. By 1998, the Athabasca property in Alberta became the Company's primary focus.
