TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TMAC Resources Inc. (TSX:TMR) (“TMAC” or the “Company”) announces that the Nunavut Impact Review Board (“NIRB”) has issued amended Project Certificate No. 003 for the Doris North Gold Mine Project to TMAC. The receipt of the amended certificate marks the completion of the NIRB process, as it relates to this amendment. NIRB now transitions to a monitoring role with regular reporting by TMAC and an annual inspection by NIRB staff.
In connection, the Nunavut Water Board (“NWB”) is progressing through consideration of a related amendment to the water license for the Doris Mine. The public hearing on the amended water license for the Doris North Project was completed earlier in September and TMAC awaits the NWB report. The finalized water license is anticipated later in the fourth quarter of 2016. The proposed amendments increase the tonnage to be mined, the mine life and the size of the Doris camp. Among other operational changes the amendments will increase the amount of tailings that can be placed into the already permitted tailings impoundment area and permit the discharge of treated water to Robert’s Bay.
