TMAC holds a 100% interest in Hope Bay located in the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut, Canada. TMAC is an emerging gold producer with the Doris mine pouring first gold in the first quarter of 2017 and achieving commercial production in the second quarter of 2017.
The Hope Bay Project is a high-grade gold deposit with established Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources totalling approximately 4.91 million ounces of gold.
The company has also reported that another milestone has been met on its path to production at Madrid and Boston. The Nunavut Impact Review Board (“NIRB”) and the Nunavut Water Board (“NWB”) have accepted the Final Environmental Impact Statement and Water Licence applications and are commencing the coordinated review of TMAC’s proposal for development and mining at the Madrid and Boston gold deposits.
TMAC looks forward to working with the Kitikmeot Inuit Association, Kitikmeot communities and government departments during the NIRB and NWB coordinated review process that is anticipated to provide TMAC with new Project Certificates and Water Licences in 2018 and 2019 respectively
