Baseline information is also required to obtain a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit, Department of Environmental Conservation Certification and the approval of Department of Natural Resources Plans of Operation and Reclamation.
Grande Portage Resources’ president Ian Klassen said that the results from the company’s 2011 drill programme has led the firm to initiate the baseline study which will be part of producing any preliminary economic assessment, which, in turn, would lead to a pre-feasibility study.
