Blasting takes place for the Touquoy Mine in Moose River Gold Mines, N.S. (Submitted by Atlantic Gold Corp. )
The government bodies conducting an environmental assessment of a proposed gold mine on Nova Scotia s Eastern Shore are now inviting the public to give feedback on the project.
Atlantic Gold wants to develop the Fifteen Mile Stream gold mine about 30 kilometres north of Sheet Harbour.
The mine site would include open pits, stockpiles, material storage, crushing and concentrator facilities, water management and treatment infrastructure, mine haul roads and a tailings management facility.
Ore from the Fifteen Mile Stream mine would be crushed on the site, and concentrate would then be trucked to Atlantic Gold s mine in Moose River, about 75 kilometres away, for further processing.
