Bulletin summary

De Beers Canada Inc. has submitted a Mine Closure Plan Amendment for filing by the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines as required under the Mining Act.

Why consultation isn't required

This Advance Exploration Closure Plan proposes rehabilitation measures for the Victor Resource Extension Project. Improvements to the site as a result of the completed and proposed rehabilitation activities are expected.

Bulletin details

This Closure Plan Amendment identifies closure concepts for the Victor Resource Extension Project. A few of the proposed updates to the closure concepts in this amendment include the following:

  1. Large diameter drill holes that do not have a registered well tag number and are not used for environmental monitoring will be permanently closed by removing the casings to a minimum of 30 cm below surface grade and a welded steel plate will permanently cap the drill holes.
  2. If stockpiles of peat and overburden have not reclaimed naturally by local vegetation seed dispersion, the stockpiles will be seeded with a native grass mixture at final closure.
