The project aims to produce aggregates for the community of Tasiujaq. The proponent’s objective is to produce 200,000 tonnes of aggregate over the first two years. It estimated that production will subsequently be revised upwards, due to anticipated growth in demand in the community.
The main works planned are organic matter stripping (when found), surveying, drilling, hole loading, blasting (once a week), crushing, screening and stockpiling. Each of the operating periods (2021–2023, 2025–2027 and 2029–2030) will be followed by rehabilitation.
Final restoration will be carried out at the end of the operating period. Unstable blocks will be removed from the quarry walls, fencing may be installed, landings of up to 4-m high will be built if the walls are higher than 10 m and the bottom of the quarry will be made suitable for water drainage
