(Kitco News) - Artemis Gold (TSX-V: ARTG) yesterday announced receipt of the Fisheries Act Authorization for development of the Blackwater mine in British Columbia, Canada.

Artemis said that the Fisheries Act Authorization is the Government of Canada’s approval of the company’s plan to avoid, mitigate and offset impacts to fish habitat in and around the Blackwater area.

Chairman and CEO Steven Dean stated, “This represents yet another important milestone in the construction of Blackwater, which will be one of B.C.’s largest gold mines and a significant contributor to the local, provincial, and federal economies. Our senior management and construction teams are focused on completing Phase 1 construction on schedule to pour first gold in H2 2024.”

Artemis Gold’s current focus is construction of the Blackwater mine project in central British Columbia approximately 160km southwest of Prince George and 450km northeast of Vancouver.

The project is one of the largest capital investments in the Bulkley-Nechako, Fraser-Fort George and Cariboo regions of B.C. in the last decade. The first pour of gold and silver from Blackwater mine is expected H2 2024 and the mine is expected to be in production for a minimum of 22 years.
