Pretium Resources, a member of the Newcrest Group of companies, is seeking provincial authorization pursuant to the Mines Act for amendment application 9 permitted mine area (PMA) expansion for Its Brucejack Mine.
The Major Mines Office of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation is leading an authorization review for the amendment application 9 PMA expansion on behalf of the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and is currently inviting public comments about the application.
Amendment application 9 PMA expansion requests PMA expansion to the outer extents of the mining leases for the purposes of underground exploration and mining, minor associated surface infrastructure, and to authorize additional PMA northwest of the mining leases for the purpose of potable water infrastructure.
Potable water infrastructure would include water withdrawal infrastructure and connection of new potable water source(s) to the mine site potable water treatment facility, along with associated access and electrical supply.
The proposed additional PMA totals 465 ha, including 234 ha within the mining leases and 231 ha contiguous with but outside of the mining leases. The proposed PMA outside of the mining leases is entirely within Newcrest’s mineral tenures and excludes a 9 ha mining lease owned by others.
