The Financial Post reports in its Saturday edition that Nexgold Mining chief executive officer Kevin Bullock says the Goldboro mine in Nova Scotia is now ready to move forward. The Post's Andrew Rankin writes that Mr. Bullock said: "All federal and provincial permits are in place and we have a first nations agreement signed. The only remaining steps are finalizing financing and a board investment decision." Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter, with the biggest challenge being work force availability. Mr. Bullock said about 400 workers are needed to build the mine. He said: "The biggest risk is construction itself and securing skilled labour given a growing mining sector. But we're well located, accessible and confident we'll attract the work force we need." Mr. Bullock said Goldboro is "completely ready to go" since typical junior-mining risks such as permitting delays or indigenous opposition have already been resolved. Nexgold completed a feasibility study in 2022, obtained environmental approvals, signed a Mi'kmaq benefits agreement, and raised significant financing in 2024 and 2025, positioning the project for a final investment decision.
