摘要

Many people thought coal mining would never return to Nova Scotia. Xstrata and Erdene Resources are proving the doubters wrong. Construction work has started at the Donkin Coal Project site. "We are extremely pleased with the way the Donkin Coal Project has advanced over the past two months," Peter Akerley, president and CEO of Erdene said. "During that time, in addition to mine road construction, significant efforts have been dedicated to engineering the coal preparation plant, barge loading facility and working with regulators to finalize the path to development. The strategic location, high quality resource and the strengthening of the seaborne export and coking coal markets bodes well for the future of the project."
