Compliance Energy Corp CPYCF

Permit Application...

[2guys]

Just guessing, but the way this board is shaping up, I would bet some more money here, that CEC will submit its application well ahead of its publicized 'end of this year' timeline.  JMO

2guys that is one of the more peculiar aspects of how Compliance has approached the Raven Coal Project.  Best practices and due diligence of major projects typically understand the scope of the studies required and also have conducted the due diligence in having First Nations consultation agreements in place (as well as having established a meaningful engagement strategy and process to

I have been watching this post periodically mostly due to the volume  which I find odd and interesting. Some information offered previously sparked some curiousity 2guys and I agree with you here, it is clear CEC's application needs to be expedited.  The NIMBY's appear to be very organized - more than I've seen in a long time. Fortunate we pulled out when we did; not saying

[2guys]

CEC is also quite organized Queen.   This isn't something that just began yesterday.  It's been years and many $millions in the making.    The minority of NIMBY's as you call them, are just that.  The main issue in the upcoming Provincial elections is the economy and jobs.  The environment is important as it should be, but it ranks 7th in what voters are

First Nations peoples are not all opposed to resource development.  As with the Gateway pipeline project proposed for northern BC.  60% of the First Nations peoples along that route have agreed to it.  Of course, they are now also eligible for a piece of 10% of the projects revenues.  Don't go on and on about the First Nations people being against development.  They

[RavenPortSpinWatch]

bestguesstoo I have always found it extremely amusing how people create an argument that was not posited, and then argue against that self-contrived argument to come to a conclusion on a premise that wasn't even put forth.  For example, "don't go on and on about the First Nations people being against development".  Where did that come from in any of my

[RavenPortSpinWatch]

2guys the appropriate context for what Compliance has announced has been able to "satisfy all involved" (your words) is creating a draft document that eventually became a formalized Guidelines.  Working on a Draft is hardly an indicator of whether or not a proponent can meet the requirements in the Guidelines to apply,much less the levels of scrutiny that will be done once the

2Guys, you blabbing like a magpie again....... pump pump pump........... Quote:  I am confident that this is the right management for this project................. whats the CEO doing to earn his $240,000 a year salary......... not much ........ desperate move by the CEO inside buying, trying to hold support ....IMO things look weak........ What happened on Thursday with the dump off ...

[2guys]

Our CEO has the history to demand such a salary.  He gets paid because he knows how a mine is built and commissioned.  You can find his past success rather easily.   I'm not so sure your other play, AMY that you can say the same thing for their CEO.  Where's his past successes?  Does he have any after 45 plus years in the biz?  I haven't found any, that

[chrisale]

CEC hasn't satisfied anyone to date.  They have declared nothing and the guidelines published have been roundly criticized by expert reviewers hired by Coalwatch, the BC Shellfish Growers Association, and the Alberni Environmental Coalition.   This is not NIMBYism.  This is a philosophical fight about where we how we should be creating jobs in the 21st century.    

[2guys]

Where should jobs be created chrisale?  Tell everyone in BC that mining is out of the question, and they should concentrate job creation, exactly where?    

[RavenPortSpinWatch]

quote from 2guys: "Where should jobs be created chrisale? Tell everyone in BC that mining is out of the question, and they should concentrate job creation, exactly where?" 2guys methinks this post lends towards an example of delusions of grandeur wouldn't you agree? For context, the definition that I am using is below. To equate Compliance Energy's ill-conceived project and

[chrisale]

I love how those who are so caught up in their own delusions lose their ability to read.   I said coal mines 2guys, not all mines.   And if you can't think of any other way to create jobs, particularly in renewable energy, then that is your problem, please don't saddle all of society with your inadequacies.

[bestguesstoo]

Port Alberni is receptive to having a port facility for shipping coal.  Whether or not past initiatives have been successful or not is not the point here.  If Port Alberni is desperate for business then it is more likely that they will accept CEC's terms, don't you think?  CEC wants a coal port in Port Alberni, it is a part of their plan and they have budgeted the money to

[2guys]

chrisale, you seem to be against responsible mining period, not just coal mines.  What is wrong with responsible coal mining?   There are pros and cons enironmentally to clean energy as well, but why go there?  As long as CEC can mine responsibly then what is the problem?    BC needs the jobs.  Canada needs the jobs.  Are you that against someone working and

[2guys]

Great post as always bestguesstoo.  I don't think that anyone can say CEC isn't negotiating with everyone involved not just First Nations.   This management has been through this before and have been successful only because they know that involvement by all in essential.    Anyone can come on here and accuse or imply that things aren't being done properly, but they

2FLYS, You got to love your buddy bestquesstoo............. especially I love his Quote: The management of CEC is very likely to negotiate successfully with the First Nations since they are seasoned, experienced, professionals and they have a lot at stake in this project. I'm invested in this project because I believe in CEC's management and their proven abilities. It's a

My point is the track record of the local political support for economic development is

[RavenPortSpinWatch]

Mountainman2 I noticed that also but didn't want to get off track in my response to bestguesstoo.  It appears as though there exists some presumption in that post that the First Nations do not also have experience in negotiations and experienced professionals.

RavenPortSpinWatch, Very professional response to bestquesstoo.... Unfortunately 2Guys will will respond with his usual negative spin on any one who questions or comments on this board if it is not in total agreement with what he thinks......... ATB

"As long as CEC can mine responsibly then what is the problem? " For me, it has nothing to do with the mining in general. (which is why I'm not against 'mining', this is a board about Raven Coal mine, not all mines). The issues are too big picture now. There is no such thing as "responsible coal mining" anymore. Just as there is no such thing as "responsible

[chrisale]

"Port Alberni is receptive to having a port facility for shipping coal." That should be qualified. The City of Port Alberni Mayor and Council has been receptive as have the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and Port Authority. And in the case of the Port Authority are required by law to facilitate the project and make efforts to see the project through. None of these bodies have any

chrisale, Your quote: Coal, in my opinion, is no longer a responsible source of energy. Therefore Raven, is not a responsible project. I totally agree........ It is a fact of life .....coal is no longer accepted like it one was due to atmosphere pollution issues....... ATB
