Gold Canyon Resources Inc: Final Environmental Study Report Review March 30, 2013 Increased all season access to pristine lakes which will increase fishing and hunting pressures in the area; Loss of remote tourism business for local tourist outfitters; Noise and light disturbance to wildlife; Increased number of wildlife vehicle strikes; Infringement on First Nation Aboriginal and Treaty rights. Due to yet unresolved environmental and socio-economic impacts that the proposed eastern corridor will cause, this project requires an independent environmental assessment under a Class D EA. A part II order is being requested, in order to facilitate the required environmental assessment for the project. Recommendation: That the OMNR issue a PART II ORDER and require GCU to complete a separate Class D Environmental Assessment for the eastern corridor project. 4.1 Good Neighbour Policy The development and implementation of a “Good Neighbour Policy” by GCU was referenced within the ESR (Table 3-2, page 31). No follow-up actions by GCU have been pursued to develop and implement this document, which would help mitigate some concerns raised by stakeholders. If the eastern corridor is to proceed, the “Good Neighbour Policy” needs to be developed in conjunction with stakeholders, and uphold all the principles laid out within. There is currently no indication of when the document will be completed, who will draft it and how it will be upheld. The Good Neighbour Policy requires the following but is not limited to; Be referenced in all future GCU related documentation pertaining to Springpole exploration, including within all permits issued by OMNR; Outline a communications strategy between Stakeholders, GCU and OMNR; Outline compliance measures; Account for socio-economic and environmental issues raised by Stakeholders; Outline compensation and accommodation measures for Stakeholders in the event of economic loss due to GCU related activities; Outline reporting schedule for environmental monitoring studies from GCU to Stakeholders; Have a single document containing all guidelines and activities for environmental monitoring schedules, methodology, analysis, reporting, etc; Outline decommissioning process of the eastern corridor; How to address continued concerns raised by Stakeholders, First Nation communities and interested parties. 14

Gold Canyon Resources Inc: Final Environmental Study Report Review March 30, 2013 Recommendation: That GCU develop and implement a “Good Neighbour Policy”, in conjunction with Stakeholders, prior to approval of the eastern corridor project. Recommendation: The “Good Neighbour Policy” should stay in effect for the duration of Springpole exploration activities, independent of GCU ownership. 15
