The purpose of the IA is to thoroughly examine the changes, both negative and positive, to the environment, health, social, and economic conditions associated with the Novador project.
As part of this comprehensive process, the IAAC will actively engage and consult with Indigenous groups, as well with a wide range of stakeholders. This includes host communities, non-governmental organizations, and other relevant parties.
This marks the initiation of the Impact Assessment ('IA') process, which is required under Canadian law for the advancement of a mining project towards construction and production. The IA will assess changes, both negative and positive, to the environment, health, social, and economic conditions associated with the Novador project. Throughout this process, the IAAC will initiate engagement and consultation activities with Indigenous groups, as well as with various stakeholders, including host communities, non-governmental organizations, and other participants.
At the federal level, the commencement of the 'Planning Phase' is marked by the submission of the Initial Project Description. During this phase, the IAAC will contact the Indigenous groups to inform them that a potential project is being contemplated that may affect their rights or interests, and to invite them to participate in the planning phase. The IAAC will also engage and consult the public and other participants on the Initial Project Description to identify key issues of concern. The Planning Phase is anticipated to last for 180 days and will culminate in the formulation of a tailored impact statement guidelines for Probe Gold project outlining the information and studies required in the IA.
Probe Gold will work closely with the IAAC throughout the environmental assessment process to ensure the responsible execution of the Novador project. Indigenous groups and other stakeholders will play an important role in the development of the project, as their collaboration throughout the development of the project is essential.
