Australia’s St Barbara unveils bold Canadian push

Australia’s St Barbara (ASX: SBM) has unveiled an aggressive exploration strategy in Nova Scotia, Canada, as it advances plans to redevelop its 15-Mile open pit gold mine and processing hub project and reshapes its global portfolio.

The company has assembled a 697 sq. km land package in the province over the past two years, consolidating ground around its proposed 15-Mile hub despite licence reviews that trimmed its overall tenure and ongoing permitting challenges as the Touquoy mine winds down.
