Public Feedback Accepted On Iron Ore Project

The Government is now looking for public feedback on the redevelopment of the former Griffith Mine in Ear Falls.
Officials are trying to determine if an environmental assessment is required on the proposed Northern Iron Corp. project.
The project would involve the construction, operation and closure of a past-producing open pit iron ore mine.
The proposed mine would produce roughly 16,000 tonnes of ore per day, with a life of 20-years.
The iron ore would be milled on-site to produce slightly more than 4,000 tonnes hot briquetted iron each day.
The deadline to comment is April 1st.
