The government of Nova Scotia has granted NexGold Mining (TSXV:NEXG) Industrial Approval for its Goldboro gold mine in the eastern part of the province.
Following a final review, with a date of completion notice expected within 60 days, the permit will allow for the operation, construction and reclamation of a surface mine, setting a series of conditions to mitigate potential adverse environmental effects. The application, submitted in August 2023, follows a successful Environmental Assessment in 2022.
According to Tuesday’s news release, “the IA is typically one of the last permits to be issued by the Government of Nova Scotia to allow for the commencement of construction and eventual operations.”
The feasibility-stage Goldboro project holds an estimated after-tax net present value of C$328 million, with initial capital costs of C$271 million, and houses proven and probable reserves of 1.15 million ounces of gold, measured and indicated resources of 2.58 million ounces and inferred resources of 484,000 ounces.
Proven and probable reserves alone translate into over US$3.8 billion in the ground – using the gold price of US$3,381 per ounce at the time of writing – representing an exponential multiple beyond the company’s current C$114 million market capitalization.
