In accordance to my first post.....

"The Galore creek mining corporation is currently undertaking a comprehensive pre-feasibility study to advance The galore Creek project (the project), and are anticipating a major regulatory process to assist project updates and modernize and amend existing authorizations"

Maybe the major regulatory process change was our government update to Expedite mining permits! One environmental assessment only also helps increase efficiencies.

Michael Goehring, President and CEO of MABC. “We welcome the Government of Canada’s commitment to expedite project permitting and adopt the principle of “one project, one assessment” when undertaking environmental assessments with provincial authorities to increase timeliness and process certainty for major mine developments.”

Maybe we are connected to Galore. Teck sees NWBC as a "copper opportunity", not just Galore as their only copper project. Sounds like more major developments for the region are at play here. Teck and Newmont very excited for thier galore creek asset even with its high costs!

From Teck/Newmont Galore Creek website-

"The environmental baseline studies included monitoring and recording of climate, and Surface water, and ground water quantity, and quality throughout the project area".

From CUU website-

"In addition to the drilling program, environmental baseline data collection continued to increase the density and type of environmental baseline data to better reflect current project configuration, regulatory requirements and better inform consultations with the Tahltan Nation on advancing the Schaft Creek project.  Other field based activities included acquisition of updated LiDAR and Orthophoto data for geotechnical and project planning purposes, installation of weather cameras to monitor snow levels ver the winter, upgrades to the online Schaft Creek Climate Station"........

"Hydrology and water sampling will continue and an Environmental Data Suitability Analysis is planned to commence in Q4 2022.  In addition to the field program the SCJV is advancing several desktop initiatives, including investigating the potential to reduce the construction timeline"

Teck work at Galore is very similar to field work and environmental work at Schaft Creek.

Newmont must be super interested in copper fox!
