McFarlane Lake Mining Limited announced that it has initiated environmental baseline studies on its High Lake property to support future permitting efforts. The environmental studies will begin with surface and groundwater sampling program and a species-at-risk study, followed by a preliminary geochemical characterization work in the new year to determine metals processing impact potential. EAG Inc., a Sudbury-based environmental consultancy, will lead the studies and the design of related technical analysis.

EAG staff has over 35 years of experience and has worked with several major and junior mining companies on permitting, regulatory and environmental management projects. In July 2023, McFarlane Lake filed an NI 43-101 compliant technical report that identified 96,200 Inferred ounces and 45,800 Indicated ounces of gold at a grade of 10.43 grams per tonne of gold and 9.38 grams per tonne of gold, respectively, in the Purdex Zone on the High Lake property.
