VANCOUVER – Sabina Gold & Silver Corp. (“Sabina” or the “Company”) (SBB – TSX) is pleased to announce the submission of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement ("DEIS") and associated Water License Applications for the Back River Gold Project (the "Project") to the Nunavut Impact Review Board ("NIRB") and the Nunavut Water Board (“NWB”) respectively.
"Submission of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is a major milestone in the permitting process and environmental assessment of the Back River Gold Project,” said Rob Pease, President & CEO. “The DEIS demonstrates how the Project could bring responsible sustainable development to the region, including training, jobs, creation of business opportunities as well as associated royalty payments. We are committed to developing Back River in an environmentally responsible manner that will ultimately create a win/win for all stakeholders. We look forward to continuing to engage with our Inuit partners, various levels of government and other stakeholders as we move through the environmental assessment process, and look forward to receiving feedback on the proposed project."
