Atlantic Gold is proposing a gold mine at Beaver Dam, near Sheet Harbour.  The ore would be transported by truck 37 km to the ore processing facility which is under construction at Moose River.  The current plan is to transport 370 large truckloads a day, beginning immediately after the Moose River/Touquoy mine closes. That's one truckload every 2 minutes, 12-16 hours/day, 350 days/year, for 3.3 years, along Hwy. 224 and the Mooseland Road.

The Beaver Dam project is undergoing a federal environmental assessment.  Eastern Shore Forest Watch has received a grant from the Canadian Environment Assessment Agency (CEAA) to study potential environmental impacts.  We will share our concerns at these meetings.  We are also gathering local information from affected people and communities to include in our report to CEA.

Please come to a meeting or contact info@forestwatch.ca to report your specific concerns
