March 2 (Reuters) - Australian gold miner St Barbara Ltd said on Thursday it anticipates placing the operations
at its Canada-based Touquoy mine into care and maintenance.
It said it needs time to prepare to respond to requests for
information from Nova Scotia's minister on the environmental
assessment of the proposal to deposit tailings into the Touquoy
open pit.
The company said it would take more time than available
before capacity of the existing facility at the mine is reached
in early 2024.
