Mineral Recovery Permit for Hollinger Tailings Stack Sampling - Timmins
Official title: STLLR Gold Inc. - Recovery of minerals permit
STLLR Gold Inc. wants to drill 37 test holes in historic mining tailings near Timmins. They're sampling the old Hollinger Tailings Stack to figure out what minerals are left and plan future cleanup. Work would start this December and wrap up by spring 2026.
Why This Matters
Live near the old Hollinger mine site in Timmins? This sampling project is the first step toward cleaning up decades-old tailings. The drilling itself is small-scale, but it sets the stage for bigger remediation decisions down the road.
What Could Change
If approved, STLLR Gold could begin drilling test holes in the tailings this winter. The samples will determine mineral content and recovery potential, shaping future remediation plans for the site.
Key Issues
- Should STLLR Gold be permitted to sample the historic Hollinger Tailings Stack?
