North America: Hope Bay, Nunavut

Since 2002, SRK has worked at the Doris North mine on the 80 km Hope Bay Greenstone Belt in Nunavut, and has helped advance this gold project from the initial scoping study, through the detailed engineering and construction quality assurance phases. SRK provided geotechnical (rock and permafrost soil), hydrotechnical, waste management engineering, geochemistry, hydrogeology and overall regulatory guidance. The tailings impoundment area designs include a precedent setting frozen core dam (north), and a frozen foundation dam (south). SRK continues consulting towards developing and constructing more deposits and infrastructure.
