RE:RE:a fact The biggest frustration for Roman is waiting months for government permitting for the sample program.
He recalls at the Glimmer Mine, near Matheson – which ceased operation in 2001 after producing 211,000 ounces – that operation went from greenfield property to pouring the first gold bar within 10 months.
“This regime over the last few years has gotten very bureaucratic and come up with new things we need to do.”
Once they greenlight commercial production, Roman said they’ll strike an impact benefit agreement with the First Nation.
Harte has another prospect in the pipeline with its Stoughton-Abitibi property, 50 km northeast of Kirkland Lake, which Roman calls a “bit of a sleeper.”
