Dominion Diamond Corp. May 20 reported that Northwest Territories Minister of Lands Robert McLeod has approved the Jay project at the Ekati diamond mine, subject to the measures described in the Report of Environmental Assessment. "This is an important milestone for Dominion and for the northern economy," said Dominion CEO Brendan Bell. Jay, which has the potential to extend the life of Ekati by roughly a decade, is the most significant undeveloped deposit at the noted diamond mine. Dominion said it expects to publish a feasibility study on Jay later this month. And will file applications for the needed water license and land use permit for the project shortly.
