The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is going to have to decide whether or not an environmental assessment is required for the proposed Lynn Lake gold project.

They are looking for comments from the public and indigenous groups on the project and its affect on the environment.

Alamos Gold has proposed the construction, operation, decommissioning and reclamation of an open pit gold mine and new metal mill near the town of Lynn Lake.

The project would involve the redevelopment of two historic gold mines; the Gordon and MacLellan sites. The new project would include new mine infrastructure, open pits and an access road.
