"SVL is a proud woman-owned small business. We are excited to support the Idaho WIM chapter and be a partner in the success of your projects.
SVL has supported mine sites across the world, big and small, for 5 decades. We understand that managing your environmental risk isn’t just about being compliant.

Women in mining is a great place to connect with our clients and build relationships with women in the industry. We are looking forward to the opportunity to participate with the Idaho chapter in our communities."
