Nova Scotia has approved an application from the owners of the Touquoy gold mine to raise the height of the wall of its existing tailings waste pond
Nova Scotia’s Environment Department has approved an application from the owners of the Touquoy gold mine to raise the height of the wall of its existing tailings waste pond.
CEO Craig Jetson said the outcome was the result of improved “co-ordination and communication” with the provincial and federal governments. “I am keen to continue to develop the new collaborative approach with the government which helped with the delivery of today’s permit,” Jetson said. The department said the height increase does not increase the existing footprint of the mine. It said the provincial government’s job is to ensure projects “that benefit Nova Scotians economically and increase employment can move forward, while continuing to protect the environment.”
