Big news for the Goliath Gold Project near Dryden.
Federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna has announced the project can proceed.
The approval comes after environmental assessments determined the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects when mitigation measures are taken into account.
Treasury Metals can now obtain any additional authorizations and permits from federal departments.
The project is located 20 kilometers east of Dryden.
It’s expected to create as many as 450 jobs during construction and another 250 more during the life of the mine.
Catherine McKenna says “Today’s decision is based on scientific evidence, consultations with the public and Indigenous groups, and collaboration with experts. The project will create good jobs in the community, and is also subject to binding conditions to protect the environment.”
