Sabina Gold & Silver (TSX: SBB) expects to submit a final environmental impact assessment on its Back River gold project in southwestern Nunavut by the middle of this year.

Back River is a series of gold deposits in banded iron formation about 520 km northeast of Yellowknife and 75 km southwest of Bathurst Inlet. The property's flagship Goose and George deposits also lie about 50 km southeast of Xstrata Zinc's Hackett River silver-zinc project.

Sabina completed a prefeasibility study on the project a year ago and submitted a draft EIS to the Nunavut Impact Review Board in January 2014, after which the company responded to roughly 600 comments and questions on topics ranging from caribou and marine shipping to potential socio-economic effects and tailings storage.

The company's responses were then reviewed in a technical and pre-hearing conference in November last year, a key step in the permitting process.
