Construction is under way on a new water treatment plant at the Giant Mine site, which could be operational by February 2027.
“Getting that plant finished, commissioned and operational will be the most significant milestone we meet in the next year to year and a half,” Natalie Plato, deputy director for the Giant Mine Remediation Project, told reporters during a tour of the site last Friday.
Remediation of the former Giant Mine site on the edge of Yellowknife, which is expected to cost $4.38 billion and take until at least 2038, officially began in 2021.
