Box 89 Longlac, ON, P0T 2A0 sheri.taylor@ginoogamingfn.ca Dear Chief Sheri Taylor: Subject: Advance invitation to comment on proposed changes to the Hardrock Gold Mine Project and Decision Statement On November 28th, 2023, Greenstone Gold Mines (the Proponent) informed the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (the Agency) of their proposed changes to the Hardrock Gold Mine Project (the Project) as per condition 2.14 of the Decision Statement (issued on December 10, 2012 and amended on February 10, 2021). The Agency invites your comments on the proposed changes to the Project and the Decision Statement by July 10, 2024. Proposed Changes to the Project The Proponent expanded the Project Development Area (PDA) by 6.46 hectares to accommodate a temporary by-pass channel that will divert flows around the Goldfield Creek Diversion (GFCD) channel allowing for the re-design and remediation of the failed channel. The temporary by-pass channel is regarded as a temporary feature, with an estimated in-service life of 5 years. It will remain in active service until the GFCD channel has been restored, vegetated, and is considered stable enough to receive flow. Request for Comments The Agency prepared a draft Analysis Report that includes draft proposed changes to the Decision Statement (see Enclosure 1) and invites Ginoogaming First Nation to review ...

  • Please say NO to the Gold Project.  Gold mining involves the use of cyanide, which is deadly to all life.  Indigenous peoples live here.  Their homes would be destroyed, and they would be subject to the toxicity of mining.  The mine would also destroy the habitats of fish, birds, woodland caribou, pine martens, and plenty of other animals. During this climate emergency, we can not afford to destroy forests and wildlife habitat.     Gold mining is harmful to all life, and to the planet.  Forcing fish and birds to be exposed to the effluent, and cutting them up to test them for selenium and other pollutants is cruel and outdated.  Canada is phasing out toxicity testing on animals.  Please switch to animal free methods of testing effluent and other substances.  For wild fish and birds, please stop lethal sampling and switch to humane non lethal bio monitoring like is done in humans. https://www.change.org/p/stop-testing-sewer-water-on-laboratory-fish   Please do not build another gold mine.  We are in the midst of a climate crisis. This proposal, which would damage and destroy the homes of black bears, caribou, birds, fish, and many animals, is terrible.  And gold mines destroy all sorts of animals in laboratory testing of their effluents, and in lethal sampling of birds, fish, frogs, etc.  We do not need more gold mines. Please preserve the trees at this location.  Please do not build on an area that has a lot of trees, and do not build on a wetland either.  Please do not harm animals with this project. Please do not use animal testing for pollution monitoring.  It mentions that ...
