The board has recommended approval of the proposed Gahcho Kué diamond mine. The approval is subject to measures and follow-up programs.
De Beers Canada chief operating officer Glen Koropchuk said that the latest approval represents a key step forward for the proposed new diamond mine.
"We are reviewing the Report to better understand the implications of the measures and follow-up programs recommended by MVEIRB. We look forward to proceeding to the next stages in the regulatory approval process," Koropchuk said.
The Gahcho Kué Project, which is located at Kennady Lake, 280 km northeast of Yellowknife, is a JV between De Beers (51%) and Mountain Province Diamonds (49%).
