Mining Industry Questionnaire for Water Licence Application, Beartooth, Pigeon & Sable Pits, Ekati Diamond Mine (BHP Billiton, August 2001)
BHP Diamonds Inc. submitted a Mining Industry Questionnaire for Water Licence Applications to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board in August 2001, providing supplemental information in support of their application for water licensing of the proposed Beartooth, Pigeon, and Sable kimberlite pipe developments at the Ekati Diamond Mine. The questionnaire details mine operations, geology, water usage, dewatering plans, tailings management, and environmental monitoring for the three new pit developments, which would extend the mine life by approximately three years.
