Our Commitment
For us, responsible development goes beyond ticking boxes.
We aim to create lasting jobs, support local businesses, and build strong relationships with neighboring communities. Through thoughtful design and careful use of land, water, and energy, we want to leave a positive legacy that lasts beyond the life of the project.
Permitting
From completed baseline studies and an approved exploration plan, Nevada North is advancing toward mine permitting and a federal Record of Decision, alongside FEL 3 engineering and the Feasibility Study. The program aligns federal and state permitting, environmental baseline work and community engagement to de-risk the next phase of development.
Complete
2023 TO 2024
Environmental baseline studies across the project area: water resources, wetlands and riparian areas, wildlife and vegetation, greater sage-grouse leks, raptor and eagle nests, migratory birds, and a Class III cultural resources inventory.
November 2023
Exploration Plan of Operations and Reclamation Plan submitted to the BLM Wells Field Office and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.
February 2024
Revised Plan determined complete by the BLM. All baseline reports and supplemental environmental reports approved.
December 2024
Environmental Assessment posted for a 30-day public comment period.
March 2025
Finding of No Significant Impact and Decision Record authorized phased exploration on up to 250 acres over three years, with concurrent reclamation and bonding.
Underway
2026 drill program
Drilling began in September 2026 under the approved 2025 Plan, continuing into the 2027 drill season. Collects water supply, hydrogeological and geotechnical data alongside resource drilling.
Water
Groundwater monitoring wells, vibrating wire piezometers and surface water instrumentation to build the hydrogeological model the mine plan will rely on.
Wildlife
Annual greater sage-grouse lek surveys and raptor and eagle nest monitoring continuing, as recommended in the technical report.
Reclamation
Disturbed exploration areas reclaimed concurrently as they are no longer needed.
Ahead
Pre-plan of operations
Engagement with the BLM to confirm the mine-stage footprint and the baseline studies required.
Mine Plan of Operations and Reclamation
Plan for concurrent review by the BLM and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection.
National Environmental Policy Act
Review under the act, anticipated at Environmental Impact Statement level, including Tribal consultation and public comment, toward a federal Record of Decision.
State Permits
Reclamation Permit, Water Pollution Control Permit, Air Quality Permit, Section 401 certification and water rights.
The Mine Plan of Operations has not been submitted or approved. The technical report states that, based on studies to date, the Qualified Person is not aware of any known environmental issues that would preclude development, and that no issues have been identified that are expected to prevent the Company from securing the required permits.
Permitting Timeline
The permitting rows from the project development schedule. Same component, same dates and same source as the Path to Production timeline on the Project page.
EnvironmentAL
Four areas an environmental reviewer will ask about first, and what the Pre-Feasibility Study and the technical report say about each.
SOCIAL
Being responsible neighbors in the county and to every community connected to this land.
Jobs
Approximately 2,000 jobs during construction and approximately 350 full-time positions during operations, with further opportunities in transport, maintenance and supplies.
Engagement
A Stakeholder Engagement Plan to seek input from community members, Native American Tribes, local organizations and businesses, elected officials and non-governmental organizations, with feedback considered in the Plan of Operations.
Fiscal
The project would pay Nevada's net proceeds of minerals tax and county property tax, both included in the economic model. Over the life of mine, the PFS estimates approximately US$11.4 billion¹ in federal and state taxes, property tax and royalties.
Land
Federal land administered by the BLM Wells Field Office, plus an 880-acre private land parcel within the project.
