Your Mining News reports Avanti Mining received yesterday that it had received an order under section (10) of the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act in respect of its Kitsault mine project.
“This is significant step in Avanti’s efforts to re-open the Kitsault molybdenum mine because it formally commences the environmental assessment
(EA) process under BCEEA” said Craig Nelsen, President & CEO.
The next step is to receive a section 11 order that specifies the “Application Information Requirements” (AIR) to be included in the EA application. The Company has been collecting baseline environmental data on the Project since 2008 as well as evaluating the existing database of environmental information that exists because of the previous operations dating back to the 1960’s and an approved Reclamation Plan from 1996.
