Echo Bay left the JV in 2006 following the closure of the Lupine Gold Mine. The approximately 600 km road is used each winter to supply mines and exploration camps in the Slave Geological Province to the northeast of Yellowknife. Since the preparation of an environmental baseline for the renewal of the License of Occupation under which the JV operates the winter road, environmental studies associated with the road have been placed on a web-based Winter Road Environmental Management System known as WREMS. As part of the JV’s environmental commitment to continuous improvement, the JV has retained EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd. (EBA) to undertake the progressive remediation of a number of ... |
