  • To whom it may concern, Enclosed with this submission is a report for consideration by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) with regards to the proposed James Bay Lithium Mine. In this report, I have analysed some of the economic aspects of the project. With more than a dozen years of experience in the investment banking industry, I have knowledge of financial modelling, asset valuation and business strategy along with a strong grasp of both macro and micro-economics. This report was prepared as part of coursework for 'ENVI5001 Environmental Assessment' at Dalhousie University, where I am a first-year candidate in the Master’s in Resource and Environmental Management program. Through this course, I have received training in the history, principles, and procedural elements of the federal impact assessment process. Summary of recommendations The agency should request a thorough assessment of the cumulative impacts of current ...

  • Page 1 of 11 Executive Summary This report evaluates the economic impacts of the proposed James Bay Lithium Mine Project in Québec which is at the public consultation phase of the impact assessment process. The key findings are • The benefits to local business may be overstated and the negative impacts need further investigation. • The economic benefits to the Cree Nations are unclear. This may be due to the presence of a confidentiality clause in the impact benefit agreement (IBA). • The local workforce may need to enhance its technical skills to participate in and benefit from the operational and closure phases of the project. • The economic benefits to residents of the region may be distributed unevenly. Local, provincial, and federal government may need to devise measures to mitigate these impacts. • The implicit costs associated with the provision of public infrastructure are not accounted for. • Mining royalties may need to be reevaluated to ...

  • The University of Waterloo’s Environmental Assessment Review Society has completed its evaluation of the James Bay Lithium Mine Project (#80141) proposed by Galaxy Lithium (Canada) Inc. It is our opinion that the project proposal should be approved under certain conditions that we have listed below. We acknowledge the implications of mining projects but also understand the potential for lithium to fuel a greener Canadian economy.   The environmental impacts of arsenic can be devastating to not only people drinking from contaminated waterways but also to aquatic, avian, and terrestrial species inhabiting the area. As proposed currently, the James Bay Lithium Mine project would result in the creation of an arsenic contaminated pit and mining effluents. More specifically, the arsenic concentrations would range from 0.20 to 0.23 mg/L until approximately 60 years after cessation of operations, nearly 3 to 4 times the ...
