Mobilization and site development

The second barge load of equipment and supplies has been delivered from the Port of Prince Rupert to the Swamp Point North site. Since the arrival of the first barge load of equipment and supplies on June 27, Stan Spletzer, vice-president of aggregate operations and his Solid Holdings Ltd. crew have been working aggressively on refurbishing the existing camp trailers, setting up the additional Atco trailer (containing dry room, showers, washrooms and laundry); rebuilding the service roadways from the foreshore to the camp and plant site; repairing and upgrading the crew boat landing dock; and other site clearing.

Mine permitting

Further to the receipt of the company's Mines Act permit dated March 19, 2014, the company has recently submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) the various special conditions and other pertinent permit approvals which are an integral part of the permit such as:

  • An OHS plan (Occupation Health & Safety Policy Manual) as prepared by White North West Consulting;

  • Miscellaneous permits and licences including:
    • Knight Piesold Consulting letter regarding the water management plan (WM) design;
    • Ministry of Forest Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) occupant licence to cut and remove timber;
    • Transport Canada, navigation protection program approval notice of the barge load-out facilities;
    • Fisheries & Oceans Canada review and acceptance regarding the implementation of mitigation measures to avoid and mitigate serious harm to fish;
    • Additional certificates for operating of the crew boat and camp.

Upon acceptance and satisfaction of these special conditions, the company will then be permitted to proceed into aggregate production.
