The Proposed Project
Treasury Metals Inc., the proponent, is proposing the construction, operation, decommissioning, and abandonment of an open-pit and underground gold mine and associated infrastructure. The proposed mine, located 20 kilometres east of the city of Dryden, Ontario, will have an ore production capacity of 2,700 tonnes per day with an anticipated mine life of approximately 10 to 12 years. Ore would be processed on-site to produce a final doré bar that would be shipped off-site for further refining and upgrading. The property is close to existing infrastructure (electricity, natural gas, and highways).
