Morrison Copper/Gold
Referral of Application to Ministers

In response to the Ministers’ decision to rescind the Further Assessment Order for the proposed Morrison Copper/Gold Mine Project, the EAO has referred the unmodified 2015 decision materials, including Pacific Booker Minerals’ Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate, to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation for a decision. In accordance with the Environmental Assessment Act (2002), Ministers have up to 45 days to decide whether to issue a certificate, not issue a certificate, or require further assessment. Referral materials and the Ministers' decision will be posted on the EAO website following the Ministers' decision.

Good morning, As previously discussed on this Board, by virtue of subsection 28(4) of the Environment Assessment Act (2002), the Minister or the Executive Director may extend the time limits. We just have to wait.

Good morning to you Loughtorick (and all): I agree. There is a very ancient book of wisdom (world's best seller actually) that says in the really old part "Whoever is patient has great understanding" and in the newer part (still 2000 years old) says: "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience".  Maybe I pulled it out of context a little bit

Yeh waiting for your aunt to grow balls so she can become your uncle

[zerubbabel]

Uptowndog, you are either a great cynic or comedian; or maybe both. Good for a laugh anyways. If I were a little more woke, I would actually buy into your metaphor. Lol

[uptowndog1]

zerubbabel, Yes lol, we have to have a little humor to help us along while waiting don't you think, you know like watching paint dry

[BKMforthewin]

I just hope that patience doesn't entail a tombstone... again, I am optimistic, but it is hard.

Yep, and I also posted about Vopak Pacific Canada who have been waiting since September 23, 2021 for their decision (also being considered under the 2002 act).
