Gold Canyon Resources Inc: Final Environmental Study Report Review March 30, 2013 6 Summary of Recommendations GCU needs to complete a thorough environmental assessment for all environmental parameters; terrestrial, aquatic, hydrological, etc, utilizing tested methodologies that allow for reproducibility and statistical analysis. GCU needs to conduct thorough environmental baseline studies in conjunction with First Nation communities, and jointly engage with those communities throughout the planning, hiring, implementation, analysis and report writing stages of all studies. All environmental studies conducted must be done so in conjunction with First Nation communities and OMNR, and assess the environmental impacts associated with all aspects of Springpole exploration over the course of 10-20 years; anticipated period of operations. GCU needs to conduct an all-in cumulative impacts assessment for all environmental parameters, investigating the long-term impacts (10-20 years) of GCU Springpole exploration activities. GCU needs to establish the following documents in conjunction with Stakeholders, First Nation communities, OMNR, environmental organizations, etc; o Good Neighbour Policy o All-in Environmental Protection and Mitigation Plan o All-in Water quality, hydrology, aquatic habitat and terrestrial implications analysis o Eastern corridor rehabilitation plan GCU needs to provide an all-in document outlining their current and anticipated financial constraints as it relates to all Springpole related activities, highlighting overall stock weakness, incurred debt, available cash, assets, etc. OMNR should require GCU to secure a reclamation bond for 100% of the costs associated with closure and rehabilitation of the eastern corridor. OMNR should not permit GCU for eastern corridor development based on; o Incomplete environmental assessment o Lack of transparency with financial instability of the company o Poor rationale to pursue the project In the event that OMNR wants to pursue approval of the GCU eastern corridor project, a PART II ORDER should be implemented, elevating the project to a Class D Environmental Assessment, thereby requiring an independent and thorough environmental assessment. 42
