Kiggavik uranium meetings underway

CBC News reports meetings underway with Areva Resources Canada Inc’s proposed Kiggavik uranium mine in Nunavut.

The Nunavut Impact Review Board is organizing the meetings to inform people about the Kiggavik project, as well as to collect public feedback that will help form the basis of a future environmental impact statement for the project.

For the next two weeks, residents in seven communities in Nunavut’s Kivalliq region can learn more about Areva Resources’ plan to build an underground and open-pit uranium mine at its Kiggavik site, located 80 kilometres west of Baker Lake.
