Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5422. The main objectives of the field work for 2023 will be to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be collected unde...
