The Ulu gold project in Nunavut, Canada, was the focus of advanced exploration that included extracting a bulk ore sample in 1996. The development included infrastructure pads comprising waste rock excavated from underground. The waste rock is predominantly PAG based on recent static testing. Seepage monitoring and rinse pH measurements have shown that drainage is circum-neutral pH, and the rock pads are predominantly weathering under circum-neutral pH conditions; however, acid generating conditions are present locally. The site currently runs both exploration and reclamation programs.
