PROJECT REGULATORY BACKGROUND

The Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project entered the regulatory process in 2014. At that time it was determined that the Project would be subject to an environmental assessment by the government of BC and the government of Canada. Both processes require collection of:

Should the Project receive approval from the government of BC and the government of Canada for the environmental assessment, detailed permits will be required for each Project interaction with regulatory legislation (e.g. BC Mines Act, Federal Fisheries Act). The permit applications require detailed engineering work and are subject to a formal review and engagement process.

(Note: The EV CMEF is a joint initiative between the Province of British Columbia and Ktunaxa Nation Council to provide a framework to assess the cumulative environmental effects of industry in the Elk Valley. This group consists of government regulators, NGOs, other coal developers, and other industries. The intent of the framework is to provide a level playing field to assess the Crown Mountain project’s potential impacts and will assist in developing offsets as part of the permitting process.)
