Fifteen Mile Stream Gold Project

Atlantic Mining NS Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of St Barbara Limited, is proposing the construction, operation, decommissioning and reclamation of an open-pit gold mine located approximately 95 kilometres northeast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. As proposed, the Fifteen Mile Stream Gold Project would include an open pit, roads,waste rock storage area, overburden, topsoil and organics storage piles, run-of-mine and low-grade ore stockpiles, Seloam Brook realignment, crusher and concentrator facilities, tailings management facility, and water management system including water discharge. Ore would be crushed and concentrated on site to produce a gold concentrate that would be hauled to Touquoy Mine for final processing, a distance of 76 kilometres on existing public roads. The mine would operate at a rate of approximately two million tonnes of gold-bearing ore per year.
