​The aim of this project is to remediate seven abandoned mine sites and to leave as minimal a presence in the area as possible. The footprint left behind must be acceptable to Aboriginal
stakeholders for their future use and must have a low enough level of environmental and human health and safety risks as to have ownership of the sites be accepted and transfered to the
Government of the Northwest Territories.

This project is expected to span approximately 3 years (excluding monitoring after remediation). Intrusive project works will be primarily limited to the open water season, with the exception of
Site mobilization and demobilization via a re-activated winter road (furthest link Ingraham Trail junction to Bullmoose Mine at 65 km), transport of contaminated soil from Beaulieu, Spectrum and
Joon Mines to landfills and/or landfarms located at Ruth and Bullmoose Mines and transport of hazardous and non- hazardous waste off-site. Work will commence in August 2016 with a winter road survey, followed by the upgrade of legacy winter roads October 2016 to January 2017, and initial mobilization toall Sites between March and May2017 .
