Environment

The Greenstone Project received a positive Environmental Assessment Decision from the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change in December 2018.  In March 2019, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks also approved the EA. Since the approval of the EA at both a federal and provincial level, Greenstone Gold Mines has been moving forward in obtaining the necessary permits for the Project.
