The C$1.25-billion Hardrock gold project, which miners Premier and Centera Gold jointly own, has achieved a “significant” permitting milestone, taking the long-life project one step closer to realisation.
Toronto-listed Premier announced on Thursday that the joint venture (JV), Greenstone Gold Mines (GGM), had received Federal Cabinet approval of the Schedule 2 amendment as published in Canada Gazette on June 10.
The completion of the amendment to Schedule 2 of the metal and diamond mining effluent regulations was completed according to a streamlined regulatory process that few other mines have achieved and reduced the approval timeline by ten months.
