ESG consolidation of Nuggett Pond facilities to Point RousseThe NL Govt requires of its mining industry a commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint by utilizing existing infrastructure where economics permit.
Thats why the MOU of NFG with Maritime.
Firefly acquired the Ming Mine and infrastructure because of the same required commitment to ESG .
So, NFG not only because Pine Cove is the only gold mill available for Queenie ore but it has to use it because of the ESG requirement
The Pine Cove mill has enormous processing flexibility including base metals and copper.
Consolidation of Nuggett Pond processing facilities to Point Rousse by both Firefly and MAE will happen because of ESG ...eliminates two tailings ponds
This makes toll milling of Ming copper just 5 km away an option in early 2026
