Borealis Mining (TSX-V:BOGO) has received approval from the US Forest Service to modify the company’s plan of operations ahead of a mine restart of its namesake gold mine in Nevada, scheduled for Q1 2026.
The company will add 68.3 acres of disturbance across the Borealis Gold Mine for a total affected area to 549.7 acres.
Mining activities across the Freedom Flats, Borealis, and Deep Ore and Polaris pits will be expanded, while the company develops waste rock facility nine and reconfigures existing facilities.
The company also intends to construct new roads suitable for haul and light vehicles, as well as relocating infrastructure such as fuel storage, power lines, and process water routing.
Contractors are expected to mobilise at the project site in December 2025, for completion in early January which will consist of drill and blast activities.
CEO Kelly Malcolm says the approval of an expanded program is the final major regulatory step that will lead the company to begin restart operations.
“The project is fully permitted, fully financed and construction ready,” Malcolm says.
“Our team is now shifting focus toward execution – mobilising equipment, contractors and personnel to begin pre-production work in preparation for full resumption of mining at Borealis.”
Borealis recently completed the first pour of gold and silver doré from the mine in an ongoing stockpile and leaching program, weighing in 65.6 pounds from the two bars, as reported by Mining.com.au.
First discovered in 1978, the Borealis Mine produced a total of 500,000 ounces @ 2.02 grams per tonne of gold across 1981-1990 operations.
