Canadian Copper submits first-in-decade EIA in New Brunswick
Copper, zinc and silver developer Canadian Copper has submitted its environmental-impact assessment (EIA) on the Murray Brook project to the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government.
The EIA marks the first to be submitted in New Brunswick since 2013 and officially constitutes the start of permitting review processes for the Murray Brook and Caribou Complex development strategy, says Canadian Copper CEO Simon Quick.
"From a Canadian-domiciled mining perspective, we are one of the few near-term critical mineral development projects that have a visible production horizon coupled with a strong balance sheet, and project financing. Our objective is to make this EIA review process all-encompassing and ensure the restart scenario is well understood and supported locally.”
In turn Pabineau First Nation Chief Terry Richardson says he is happy to see mining return to this traditional territory. "We see economic development in the region as an opportunity for economic reconciliation and for spurring economic growth in the Northern region of New Brunswick. We look forward to taking this journey with Canadian Copper."
The New Brunswick EIA permit process comprises an iterative review by a technical review committee within the Department of Environment and Local Government, during which time the committee may issue requests for additional project information or further technical studies before coming to a decision on the EIA approval.
Canadian Copper will host an open house in Barhurst, New Brunswick, on July 29 to discuss the EIA registration and the project.
Murray Brook is believed to comprise a volcanogenic massive sulphide system containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver.
