1. Clarification of FN facts:
-Springpole exploration site is in Treaty 9 area
-The Project passes through Treaty 3 area to the south
-CLFN and SFFN are Treaty 9 First Nations
- LSFN, WFN, and MNO (via Half-breed adhesion to Treaty 3) are included in Treaty 3.
2. As explained to the TFTO in an email dated March 26, the archaeological reports contain
sensitive information about the location of archaeological sites. The reports cannot be released
to the general public by GCU.
3. This statement is incorrect. A road corridor has been cleared of archaeological values by a
licensed professional archaeologist. Any minor modifications to the proposed 15m road corridor
that arise during the final review of the ESR or the subsequent approvals process would be
cleared by a licensed professional archaeologist, as articulated in the final ESR on pages 6, 20
and 38.
4. The only potential water quality issues related to the construction of the road are sedimentation
and erosion, that will be addressed by implementing MNR and DFO best management practices.
This is stated in the ESR on page 64 and at page 6 of Appendix 4 Biological Constraints Report.
5. These activities are not part of the proposed Project.
6. This is a requirement for a mine development, not a winter road Project.
7. This would be part of a mine development EA. It is not applicable for this Project because the
scale of the Project is so small and short in duration.
