PDAC Video: Wyloo targets green design, energy for Eagle鈥檚 Nest in Ring of Fire
Wyloo Metals Canada鈥檚 approach to its Eagle鈥檚 Nest critical minerals project in northern Ontario鈥檚 Ring of Fire region aims to align green energy transition goals with the mine鈥檚 design, CEO Kristan Straub says.
Its upcoming feasibility study for Eagle鈥檚 Nest envisions a project footprint of less than 1 sq. km where water use is minimized and tailings are deposited underground. The design is among many project details Wyloo is working to share with Indigenous communities in the region.
Unlike a black box approach where industrial developers only report information annually, Wyloo brings a 鈥済lass box approach,鈥 Straub said in an interview last month at the annual Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada convention in Toronto. 鈥淚t reduces asymmetry of information [and is] fundamental to building trust with the communities and permitting access to raw data.鈥
While Eagle鈥檚 Nest will depend on a network of roads that still need to be constructed in the region, it could produce about 1 million tonnes of nickel, copper and platinum group elements per year over a 17-year life, Straub said.
