Syncrude noted the mine would be near its processing and upgrading facility, located about 40 kilometres north of Fort McMurray. If granted regulatory approval the mine would be operational by 2023 or 2024 and would allow Syncrude to maintain an existing 2,000 jobs and create about 1,160 construction jobs. Syncrude is a joint venture established to recover shallow deposits of oil sands using open-pit mining methods to extract bitumen and upgrade it to produce a high-quality, light (32 degree API), sweet, synthetic crude oil. Syncrude leases cover about 63,000 net acres.

"Tailings are the sand, silt, clay and water found naturally in oil sands that remain following the mining and bitumen extraction process." [16] The problem stems from the hot water process used by Suncor and Syncrude to extract bitumen from the Athabasca Oil Sands which produce large quantities of tailings pond sludge which remains stable for decades.

As one of Canada's largest and longest running oil sands operations, Syncrude's cumulative production exceeds 2.8 billion barrels. From 2013 - 2017, we contributed $31.7 billion to Canada’s economy through the payment of wages, royalties and taxes and procurement of goods and services. Oil producer Syncrude is investigating after a contract worker was killed at one of the company's oilsands mines in Northern Alberta on Sunday night. In a press release Monday, Syncrude said an incident happened at 9:30 p.m. Sunday night at the company's Aurora mine, about an hour's drive north of Fort McMurray. Syncrude is one of the first oilsands companies trying to restore a wetland back to some semblance of what it was before it was mined.
