SCOTTIE COMMENCES ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE STUDIES
Scottie Resources Corp. has commenced environmental baseline studies at the company's 100-per-cent-owned, road-accessible Scottie gold mine DSO (direct shipping ore) project in British Columbia's Golden Triangle region. A comprehensive environmental baseline program will position the company to advance permitting and demonstrate that the project is a simplistic, low-impact gold mining operation on a brownfields site.
Scottie has contracted leading environmental consultants to carry out a multifaceted, multiyear environmental baseline study at the project. Baseline studies will be primarily led by Nisga'a Growth Corp.-partnered SLR and supported by several top environmental and socio-economic firms, including Ecofor Consulting Ltd. and Two Worlds Consulting. The environmental baseline program includes archeological, aquatics, terrestrial, hydrogeological and geochemical data collection. This environmental baseline program will serve as the basis for the required regulatory authorization applications.
Dr. Thomas Mumford, president, commented: "The initiation of environmental baseline studies marks an important milestone for the Scottie gold mine DSO project. Led by a first-nation-partnered business, this highly experienced group of technical consultants will help Scottie navigate the amendment of the Scottie mine permit needed to operate the project. We look forward to working together to establish the project as a low-impact, high-margin operation made possible through existing local infrastructure and community support."
Environmental baselines are a comprehensive assessment of the environmental conditions in a specific area prior to the construction of a proposed project. They are designed to document the existing environmental conditions of the area, including air, water, soil and biotic resources, and serve to establish a baseline that can be used to assess the potential impact of a proposed project. Environmental baseline studies are an essential part of the mine-permitting processes and help to ensure that mining companies operate in a conscientious and sustainable manner.
These studies will build on the database of environmental data Scottie has collected since exploration began in 2019 as the company continues to maintain its commitment to operate environmentally and socially responsibly.
