Waste Rock Geochemical Characterization and Kinetic Testing Report, Part 2, Ekati Diamond Mine (Arctic Canadian Diamond Company, August 2022)
This report documents humidity cell test results and geochemical assessment of metasediment from the Point Lake Project at Ekati Diamond Mine, addressing water licence requirements for kinetic testing and investigation of NAG pH discrepancies. The study evaluates acid generation potential, metal leaching, and parameters of concern in Point Lake metasediment to inform waste rock storage area seepage predictions.
