Goldboro Gold Mine Project

Anaconda Mining Inc. is proposing the construction, operation, decommissioning, and abandonment of a gold mine located in Goldboro, Nova Scotia, approximately 175 kilometres northeast of Halifax. The project would entail both open pit and underground mining phases and an onsite milling facility with a proposed processing rate of 575 tonnes per day. Tailings would be stored in an onsite engineered tailings storage facility. The anticipated mine life is approximately nine years. The concentrator would run about 1.5 years longer, processing the lower grade ore accumulated during the development of the pit.
