ups... Fuller Mine !This proposal is for a Basic Comprehensive Certificate of Approval (Air) which is a single Certificate of Approval that replaces the existing Certificate(s) of Approval (Air) and includes the addition of new or historically unapproved sources for all emissions from VG Gold Corp., located at the Fuller mine, City of Timmins, Ontario. VG Gold Corp. proposes to re-open the Fuller underground gold mine and the ore extracted will be shipped offsite for further processing.
This application is for all sources at the facility required to develop and annually extract approximately 175,000 tonnes per annum of gold ore.
Emissions to the atmosphere include products of combustion, particulate matter and metals such as cobalt, nickel, arsenic and magnesium.
The Basic Comprehensive Certificate of Approval (Air) requires that the company demonstrate compliance on an ongoing basis with Ontario Regulation 419/05, applicable Ministry Guidelines for Air and Noise and other performance requirements as specified in their conditions. It permits modifications such as process changes, de-bottlenecking or addition of new equipment subject to limits on operational flexibility that include a production limit for the facility to be specified on the Basic Comprehensive Certificate of Approval (Air). The limited operational flexibility conditions have a five year expiry date. The company will be required to make application for amendment at that time to renew these conditions. Of specific public interest, one condition that will be included on the Basic Comprehensive Certificate of Approval (Air) will require the company to make available, at all times, at the facility for inspection by interested members of the Public, a table (Emission Summary Table) that documents the facility's compliance with Ontario Regulation 419/05
