Shore Gold files revised environmental impact statement
A proposed diamond mine in the Fort a la Corne region east of Prince Albert could receive government approvals within a few months, but the daunting task for Shore Gold remains securing financing to build the estimated $1.9 billion mine in a time of global economic uncertainty.
However, the Saskatoon based company is applauding its latest achievement with the submission of its revised Environment Impact Statement (EIS) to the federal and provincial governments on Friday.
“The submission of the Revised EIS marks the achievement of another major milestone on the route to the development of a world-class diamond mine in Saskatchewan,” stated George Reed, vice president of exploration in a news release.
“The Revised EIS is a substantial document that represents a huge amount of work and includes over 10,500 pages of information.”
