The Goliath Gold Project completed its federal Environmental Assessment with the federal government approval on August 19, 2019, when the Honorable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, announced in her decision that the proposed Goliath Gold Project may proceed.
The decision was made following a thorough and science-based environmental assessment process with input received from Indigenous groups, the public, and federal departments including Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Health Canada, and Natural Resources Canada and various agencies across all provincial ministries. The report concluded that the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when mitigation measures are taken into account. The federal minister’s decision states that Treasury Metals Inc. can now proceed with obtaining final permits and authorizations required to begin construction.
The Project, as proposed by Treasury, consists of the construction, operation, decommissioning, and remediation of an open-pit and underground gold mine and associated infrastructure located 20 km east of the City of Dryden, Ontario. The proposed Project could create up to 450 jobs during construction and 250 jobs during operations over the life of the project. The Company continues to complete requirements for final authorizations and permits.
