Northcliff gets environmental nod for heavy metals mine
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The New Brunswick government has issued a positive environmental-impact assessment (EIA) certificate of determination to TSX-listed Northcliff Resources for its Sisson tungsten-molybdenum project.
The review determined that the mitigating measures identified during the review process, along with the conditions outlined in the environmental-assessment approval would provide the safeguards necessary to ensure the facility could be built and operated in an environmentally sound manner.
"This important milestone is another step on the path to creating a significant new tungsten producer. The rigorous environmental-assessment process has resulted in a strong project that will deliver significant benefits to New Brunswick, while protecting the environment.
“We recognise the importance First Nations and all residents of New Brunswick place on the protection of the land, water, heritage and natural resources of the province. The Sisson partnership is committed to advancing the project in a manner that respects these interests,” Northcliff CEO Chris Zahovskis said.
As part of the EIA process, the report was submitted to the federal Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) and the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government in July 2013.
A federal decision from CEAA remained pending, with permit applications for construction and operation to be finalised and submitted following a positive federal decision.
Concurrent with the ongoing environmental-assessment process, Northcliff continued to work to secure offtake interest in Sisson's products and arrange financing for development and construction.
