Andrew Strelein, CEO of St Barbara, expressed frustration over obstacles in Nova Scotia's gold exploration, stating, 'The only difficulty that we've really encountered in Nova Scotia is dealing with the Department of Environment.' This comment sheds light on the challenges faced by mining companies, particularly in navigating regulatory hurdles that seemingly impede their progress despite their interest in investing in the region.
Following the designation of the Archibald Lake Wilderness Area, which barred water extraction for the proposed Cochrane Hill mine, Strelein highlighted a significant setback: 'We want to be investing in Nova Scotia... But we are worried about roadblocks.' This reflects the tensions between environmental protections and corporate interests in Nova Scotia's mining landscape.
