IDM Mining Ltd. has commenced the 30-day public consultation period for the Red Mountain Underground Project draft application information requirements (dAIR) document. The public comment period, will run until November 4, 2016.
“Entering into the dAIR public consultation period is an important step in the environmental assessment of the Project,” said Michael McPhie, executive chairman of IDM.
“The EA process and regulatory review timeline remains on track for the company, and we look forward to engaging with local and regional stakeholders in the coming weeks,” added McPhie.
The BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) has issued a formal notice of the public open house and opportunity to comment, and IDM has made this notice available to community members through publication in newspapers, as well as hardcopy and online distribution through community bulletin boards, websites, and social media.
In addition to the project’s progress through the EA, the company is in the process of completing more than two and a half years of environmental baseline studies that will form the foundation of the work that will be documented in the subsequent environmental assessment of the project by both BC and Canada. A project application report will be filed with both the BC EAO and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) in early 2017 that will meet all of the requirements of the BC and Canadian Environmental Assessment Act’s.
Feasibility level engineering of the project is also well underway. This feasibility work includes all aspects of mine design, water and waste management, transportation, logistics, milling and processing, labor needs, scheduling, and financial analysis. A bankable level feasibility study (BFS) of the project is scheduled for completion in early 2017. The BFS will also inform the content of the application/EIS being prepared by IDM.
