  • Following the new information / details provided from the Impact Assessment Agency in-person info sessions held at the Ramada Inn Timmins on February 22, we would like to submit new concerns / questions as well as potential opportunities in addition to our first online comments submitted August 18, 2022.   New concerns Increased train activity: By CNC linking up to the existing Kidd Creek rail line and ultimately increasing usage/traffic, we are concerned that the risk of forest fire will increase.  The existing Kidd Creek rail line surrounds a large part of our campground in close proximity (under 1km) and thus increases the risk of forest fire.  In fact Kidd Creek themselves had a fire from train spark within the last 3 years.  We would like to know what operational procedures/protocol will be in place during the fire season to mitigate against fire starts and fire protection toward our ...

  • The Township of Black River-Matheson cautiously supports this project.  The past mining history in Northern Ontario has seen the vast majority of the benefits accruing to the larger centres.  In our case, that would be to the City of Timmins. The minerals that are being mined will provide great benefits to the mining company and the Province of Ontario.  History has shown that little if any benefits accrued to the smaller communities.  This can range from using local businesses to encouraging contractors to establish their new businesses in such communities. There is also an issue of employment.  Many of those who have been trained as miners are located in the smaller towns surrounding this project, including Bsalck River-Matheson.  We would prefer to see new miners establish themselves in our community as a way to spread the efforts among the smaller communities.

  • The Project Plan first stage of mining operations and milling process will require to run a rail spur line to connect with the Glencore existing rail from its Kidd metsite to the Metallurgical site at Hoyle. Will the proponent evalute the remaining tailings capacity at the Hoyle Metsite and possibly increase long term capacity of the existing infrastructure and treatment? Eliminating the need for a Process Plant and associated Tailings Management Facility at the Crawford Site would reduce the sensitive environmental impact on the existing landscape and surrounding watershed. The existing Process Plant at the Glencore Metallurgical site could be fully converted to run Crawford Ore for a much longer period than the initial plan design.
