Generation Mining Limited (TSX: GENM | OTCQB: GENMF) has received two additional approvals from the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks and the Ministry of Natural Resources for the Marathon Copper-Palladium Project in Northwestern Ontario.
Jamie Levy, President and CEO of Generation Mining, commented, “Receiving these approvals from the MNR and MECP is a testament to our team’s hard work and dedication to advancing the Marathon Project responsibly. We remain committed to working closely with all regulatory bodies to ensure the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility.”
The Permit to Take Water for the construction phase of the project was granted by MECP, and one of the four approvals for the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act permit, regarding construction of infrastructure associated with the water management structures has been approved by MNR. Generation Mining has also completed the work associated with the aerial survey portion of the Endangered Species Act permit for the Boreal Woodland Caribou in the Lake Superior Coastal Range as required with the amended ESA MECP permit. These approvals mark significant milestones in the advancement of the company’s Marathon Project.
The completion of the Caribou Survey was a key portion of the amendment to the ESA permit and reflects the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and aligns with the objectives established by MECP, Indigenous groups, and other stakeholders for the protection and management of Boreal Woodland Caribou in the Lake Superior Coastal Range. The Caribou Survey started on 9 February and was completed in late February. The survey included 5500km of flight-lines via helicopter over the range extending from Terrace Bay to the Montreal River including the Slate Islands (which is a known location for the site of a translocated Caribou population), Michipicoten Island and other near shore islands, with biologists and trained spotters and key Indigenous community members.
Ruben Wallin, VP Sustainability said, “This Caribou Survey was a key aspect of the ESA permit and incredibly important in understanding the Boreal Woodland Caribou population in the range around the Marathon Project on the Lake Superior mainland. We appreciate the Indigenous communities support in the survey. While the spotters did not see any Caribou on the mainland, we did confirm the numbers on the Slate Islands.”
