Joint-venture partners Centerra Gold and Premier Gold Mines have submitted the environmental impact statement and environmental assessment (EIS/EA) to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to start the formal environmental review process of the Hardrock gold project, in Ontario.
The TSX-listed companies, which together formed the Greenstone Gold Mines (GGM) 50/50 joint venture to develop the Hardrock deposit, said on Wednesday that in preparing the applications, GGM has worked in close consultation with local Aboriginal communities, the Municipality of Greenstone and local stakeholders to ensure that their input was reflected within the final EIS/EA.
