The Giant Mine located in Yellowknife, has been in operation under several owners for approximately 56 years starting in 1948. In 1999, the owner of Giant Mine, Royal Oak Mines, went into receivership. The Government of Canada has taken on the responsibility of the existing environmental liabilities on the property, including approximately 237,000 tonnes of arsenic trioxide, stored in underground chambers. The Giant site is currently in Care and Maintenance mode while the Remediation Plan is undergoing an Environmental Assessment (EA). Following the EA, it's anticipated a water license application will be submitted. Contracts will be posted in the summer, fall and winter months of this year. The implementation phase of the clean-up and remediation program will have a number of individual components including, the Freeze Program, Tailings Cover, Baker Creek Alignment, Surface Water Management, Building Demolition, Surface Openings and Pit Closures, Hazardous Materials Disposal and Contaminated Soils. A long-term contract for post-remediation activities will be required for the construction and operation of a new Water Treatment Plant, maintenance of the freeze system, site security and monitoring. Post-remediation activities are expected for at least 25 years or more. The Government of Canada is committed to a fair, open, transparent and competitive procurement process.
