Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Mine

planned

The Sisson mine is a tungsten-molybdenum mining project located in central New Brunswick, Canada. It has been stalled for years with outdated provincial and federal environmental approvals. The project is owned primarily by Northcliff Minerals (88.5%) with Todd Minerals holding 11.5%. The mine has low-grade ore and has not met any of the 40 environmental approval conditions required before construction can begin. The project has recently received funding from the U.S. Department of Defense and the Canadian government to expand tungsten production for domestic supply chains, but faces Indigenous opposition and environmental concerns.
