Mining company sheds portion of Nunavut gold mine, for now – Nunatsiaq News
Sabina simplifies its project to simplify the regulatory process

On the heels of what they described as a “very compelling” feasibility study for the Back River gold project in western Nunavut, Sabina Gold and Silver Corp. says it hopes to have a final environmental impact study done by this November.
That, along with other updates from the Canadian mining company, was contained in a July 3 letter to the Nunavut Impact Review Board from Matthew Pickard, the company’s vice-president of environment and sustainability.
But before that final EIS is written, Sabina continues to shed parts of the project and simplify the regulatory process.
In its recent letter, for example, Sabina says it will remove the George mine development from the final EIS. The George site lies northwest of the main Goose property.
