Hi Matthew,

It’s my understanding from Phyllis Beaulieu, NWB License Administrator that you had questions on submission requirements for moving a project from exploration phase to advanced exploration phase (this means bulk sampling and not full scale mine development).  At a minimum you need to file with the Board the following:

1. An application form w/$30 (Payment made to: Receiver General for Canada),
2. Executive summary of project in English and Inuktitut (possibly in Innuinaktun as well if project impacts Cambridge Bay and westward);
3. Supplemental Questionnaire for “Advanced Exploration” and any other details found in Section 6(2) of the NWT Water Regulations as they apply to your proposal if not covered off under the questionnaire.  
4. Summary of Baseline work completed to date (NWB may request info at later date) and detailed overview/plan for work to be undertaken i.e. ARD assessment work, Mine water drainage minimization/treatment plan.
5. Revised Spill Contingency Plan for the project site
6. Revised AR plan in accordance with NWB guidelines including a cost estimate for full cost recovery based on 3^rd party undertaking work.

 

Note: forms/questionnaires/guidelines can be found on NWB ftp site.  

 

If you require further assistance or clarification do not hesitate to contact Phyllis Beaulieu on Administrative matters Tel: 867-360-6338 or email licensing@nwb.nunavut.ca , or Dave Hohnstein, Technical Advisor Mining at Tel: 780-443-4406 email: tech2@nwb.nunavut.ca for clarification on technical issues.  

 

Regards,

Dionne
