In June 2015, Noront received it’s Approved Terms of Reference for the Environmental Assessment of Eagle’s Nest from the Provincial Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. Over the next 18 months, the Company will be completing work on a series of amendments to the EA in order to gain project approval.
We're 14 months in...maybe this will be approved by the end of the year?
The environmental assessment process was formally started in 2011.
