Gold Mine Projections


There will be no base camp for employees working at a proposed gold mine north of Barwick.

Rainy River Resources released a preliminary economic assessment of its project last week.

President Raymond Threlkeld expects the projected 618 full-time workers to live in nearby communities.

There will likely be a camp for the 675 workers involved in the construction phase of the project.

An open-pit mine could open as early as 2015.
