Public Comments Being Accepted on Changes for Magino Gold Mine Conditions

Public comments are being invited on proposed changes to conditions for a local mine project.

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada says it's holding a public comment period as Argonaut Gold's proposed changes to the Magino Gold Project as it was approved in 2019, including the construction and operation of a 22-megawatt on-site liquefied natural gas-fired electrical power generation facility - an LNG power plant - as well as associated infrastructure not part of the original design, like a storage facility, electrical distribution lines and substation, and power generation equipment, as well as the rerouting and upgrading of an existing 44-kilovolt distribution line from within the area of the open-pit to a new area that is located outside of the blast exclusion zone of the open-pit.

Comments will be accepted until June 30th, through the Impact Assessment Registry - under reference number 80044 - or by emailing conditions@iaac-aeic.gc.ca
