Original proposal
Proposal details
Description of instrument
Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. has submitted an amendment to Macassa Mine and Lake Shore Tailing site, for filing by MENDM as required under the Mining Act for prescribed early exploration activities.
The amendment reflects changes associated with the company's mining properties since the previous Closure Plan Amendment was filed with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, in 2013.
The objective of this Closure Plan Amendment is to present a decommissioning strategy that reflects current site conditions and addresses issues related to environmental protection and public safety.
This CPA also proposes a decommission strategy for a proposed north tailings storage facility, a new ramp to be extended from shaft #1 and a new shaft on site. The closure plan amendment also updates the progressive rehabilitation conducted to date at the site and the costs associated with the closure of all mine hazards.
