Baie Verte Stog’er Tight Expansion – 278 Open Pit Mine

PROPONENT: Signal Gold Inc.

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent is proposing to expand its current gold mining operations at the Stog’er Tight Deposit, located within the municipal planning area of Baie Verte. The expansion would require the construction and operation of an open pit mine, Pit 278, and would include the de-watering of Camp Pond and installation of an 850-metre haul road. Operations would utilize existing infrastructure, including the proponent’s existing Pine Cove ore mill, located three kilometres west of the deposit. The expected life of the mine is 6.5 months.
