West Detour gold project to undergo provincial environmental assessment – Northern Ontario Business
Indigenous group had asked for the longer federal process.
Detour Gold’s West Detour project near Timmins will be vetted under the provincial environmental assessment permitting process.
In a Sept. 13 press release, the company said the federal Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change will not designate the project under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012.
The company filed its Environmental Study Report on Jan. 30, 2017, and sent it to the Indigenous communities with which it has ongoing consultation.
