RE: RE: My note to Hon. John Duncan, outline
In September 2003, a Land Use Permit and Water Licence for underground exploration and development and for metallurgical testing in a pilot plant were issued to the Company by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board. An appeal to the Federal Court seeking judicial review of the decision of the Water Board to issue the Water Licence was filed in October 2003 by the DehCho First Nations and heard by the Court in August 2005. In December 2005 the Court issued its Judgment directing the Water Board to reissue the Licence containing modified language which had been agreed between the Company and the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. The Licence was reissued by the Board in February 2006. In 2003 the Company submitted a separate application for a Land Use Permit for use of the existing road from the Liard Highway to the mine site and claimed legal exemption from the Environmental Assessment process. The claim for exemption was denied by the Water Board and the Company filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories. That Appeal was heard by the Court in December 2004 and in May 2005 the Court issued its Judgment ruling that the proposed development is exempt under the Act from Environmental Assessment. | |
