KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) Project – Public Comment Invited on Proposed Scope of the Environmental Assessment

The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency invites the public to comment on the proposed scope of the environmental assessment, factors to be considered, scope of those factors, and the ability of the comprehensive study process to address issues related to the KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) Project in northwestern British Columbia.

Seabridge Gold Inc. is proposing to develop the copper and gold deposits found in the Kerr, Sulphurets and Mitchell Creek watersheds located about 65 km northwest of Stewart, B.C. The proposed development is expected to process between 100,000 and 120,000 tonnes per day of ore over a mine life of at least 30 years.

The Agency prepared the scoping document on behalf of the responsible authorities, Natural Resources Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Environment Canada and Transport Canada. This project is subject to a comprehensive study environmental assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act.

The scoping document incorporates the requirements of the federal environmental assessment process and identifies key issues to be addressed in the comprehensive study.

Public comments received by June 30, 2010 will be considered. All written submissions received will be considered public and will become part of the public registry. Interested persons are invited to send their comments in the official language of their choice to:
