MMG ventures into Inuit territory

Miner MMG aims to have its zinc-copper project in Canada's northernmost territory up and running by 2018.

The overseas non-ferrous metals mining unit of China's largest metals trader, China Minmetals Non-Ferrous Metals, expects to complete a feasibility study on the project in the second half of this year, according to MMG chief executive Andrew Michelmore.

But the project, located in an ecologically sensitive area in the Izok Corridor in Nunavut must pass three years of environmental impact studies before it can go ahead. It is in the first year of such studies.
