Bulletin summary

We have received a notice of material change for Bell Creek Complex that will result in Lake Shore Gold, a subsidiary of Pan American Silver submitting a closure plan amendment.

Why consultation isn't required

This bulletin is for information only, as a Closure Plan Amendment is not an instrument under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993. The Ministry of Mines is posting this bulletin to the Environmental Registry to keep the public informed of changes to mining projects in Ontario. If you wish to comment on this Closure Plan Amendment, please use the contact information for Owen Rigg, Mineral Exploration and Development Consultant.

Bulletin details

The proposed changes to the project are as follows:

  • a new 'phase 6' tailings cell to meet production requirements, life of mine
  • an overburden stockpile, required to meet closure plan commitments
  • the expansion of the closure plan boundary, required to facilitate the works
  • paste backfill plant required to meet underground operations production requirements for the life of mine
