In 1982 Cominco American signed an agreement with NANA, regarding development of the deposit. Initial mine development began in 1986 and by November 1989 construction was complete. Operations and production began in December 1989. Facilities were expanded in 1998 and again in 2001. teckcominco.com Cominco process engineer Dawn Pumnea is in charge of the commissioning, which will be complete in October 2001.
