Biography

Richard R. Goulet was born and raised in the Abitibi region of the Province of Quebec, an intense mining region. He has completed a Ph.D. on the use of constructed wetlands to treat mine drainage under temperate climate at the University of Ottawa. He then completed a 2-year post-doctoral tenure at the National Water Research Institute in Quebec City where he studied the speciation of metals in aquatic systems. Richard has 22 years experience in environmental risk assessment of metals and mine waste management. He started his career at Environment and Climate Change Canada where he improved government of Canada metals risk assessment guidance and conducted environmental risk assessments of metal containing substances such as Cobalt. He then joined the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, where he provided regulatory advice mine material management at Uranium mines and mills. In 2020, he joined CanmetMINING as research scientist. Part of his role is to review proposed mine waste management strategies for all mining projects proposed under the federal Impact Assessment Act. He also conducts research on the behavior of critical metals in tailings. He also investigates the toxicity of metals that could be released by emerging critical minerals mining project such as Rare Earth Elements, Lithium and Uranium mines and mills.
