Détails de la proposition

Gowest Gold Limited has submitted a Closure Plan for filing by ENDM as required under the Mining Act. This Closure Plan proposes rehabilitation measures to be implemented during closure of Gowest Gold Limited's Bradshaw Mine site.

The Bradshaw Mine involves underground mining of a ramp-accessed gold deposit.

During the Production phase, Gowest will continue using the existing Advanced Exploration infrastructure and construct one raise to provide fresh air and secondary egress. The Production phase will be developed for a total of eight years. It is anticipated that it will take approximately six years to develop the ramp and sub-levels, and an additional two year to extract the remaining reserves.

The following are the major components of this Closure Plan as proposed by Gowest Gold Limited:

  • an extension of the underground drifts in the deposit, resulting in a mining rate of a maximum of 1,500 tonnes per day of ore on average
  • a new fresh air/egress raise and associated ancillary infrastructure (access road, building)
  • continuation of surface and underground exploration drilling
  • new ancillary surface facilities (additional offices, storage facilities, dry facilities as required)
  • expanded existing laydown areas located to the southwest, and to the north of the site
  • an expansion of the septic system
  • additional fuel tanks and propane storage areas
  • additional short run on-site poles and powerlines
  • improvements to the water management structures, including an additional mine water pond and possible cell 2 of Polishing Pond

The remainder of the existing infrastructure currently in use at the Bradshaw Mine will remain unchanged. Some waste rock may also be used for surface road construction onsite or off-site along the access road or as backfill.

Stripped overburden has been stockpiled for use in closure rehabilitation activities.
