<\/i><\/i><\/span>How is Gold Candle dealing with the legacy environmental impacts at the former Kerr-Addison Mine?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nKerr-Addison Mines Ltd. was incorporated in 1936. Between 1938 to 1996, 11 million ounces of gold was produced by the Mine. The Mine closed in 1996.<\/p>\n
Managing a legacy mining site involves ensuring the community\u2019s safety, managing historical environmental issues, and rehabilitating legacy mining features. Unfortunately, the site was not properly rehabilitated per today\u2019s standards. Safety hazards from historical activities, such as open holes and collapsing underground workings, are still present throughout the old mining site.<\/p>\n
Since purchasing the property, Gold Candle has removed 50,000 kg of cyanide and numerous barrels of hydrocarbons. In 2022, the Company removed two old oil tanks, recycled scrap metal, and 500 kg of caustic soda and added gravel to raise the roadbed level of a trail locally known as the 5-Minute Trail.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>When will you know if there is potential for a mine?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nGold Candle is working on economic, engineering, social and environmental evaluations to determine the potential for a future mine.<\/p>\n
The potential viability of a mine will be further assessed in a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) which decision to undertake will be informed by the results of the ongoing scoping study.<\/p>\n
If we are successful in demonstrating potential economic viability, additional drilling, and more detailed studies including environmental and social assessments will be required.<\/p>\n
It generally takes a minimum of 7 to 10 years before a mine can go into production. Before that, the project must go through other development and studies phases, each dependent on positive results (advanced exploration underground access, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, social and environmental assessment and permitting).<\/p>\n
We believe that open communication and meaningful long-term relationships with communities are critical to the project\u2019s success, at each stage of its development.\u00a0 We are committed to continuing to build our understanding of the communities\u2019 interests and concerns throughout meaningful engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
