The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has provided the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation with $45,000 to assist its participation in the environmental assessment of the Goliath Gold Project.

The funding will enable participation in the upcoming steps of the environmental assessment, which include reviewing and providing comments on the environmental impact statement or on the summary, the draft environmental assessment report, and on potential environmental assessment conditions.

Treasury Metals Inc. is proposing to construct, operate, decommission, and abandon an open-pit and underground gold mine and associated infrastructure. The proposed mine, located 20 km east of the city of Dryden, will have an ore production capacity of 2,700 tonnes per day with an anticipated mine life of approximately 10 to 12 years.
