  • Please say NO to the Springpole Gold Project.  Gold mining involves the use of cyanide, which is deadly to all life.  Indigenous peoples live here.  Their homes would be destroyed, and they would be subject to the toxicity of mining.  The mine would also destroy the habitats of fish, birds, woodland caribou, pine martens, and plenty of other animals. During this climate emergency, we can not afford to destroy forests and wildlife habitat.     Gold mining is harmful to all life, and to the planet.  Forcing fish and birds to be exposed to the effluent, and cutting them up to test them for selenium and other pollutants is cruel and outdated.  Canada is phasing out toxicity testing on animals.  Please switch to animal free methods of testing effluent and other substances.  For wild fish and birds, please stop lethal sampling and switch to humane non lethal bio monitoring like is done in ...

Attachment Disapproval of the Sprinpole Gold Project

  • This project fails to receive my support due to its potential to harm Springpole Lake and surrounding ecosystems, as well as its lack of engagement and disregard for the Treaty Rights of the surrounding Indigenous nations. Environmental Assessment and reporting have failed to provide concrete or adequate mitigation to avoid detrimental habitat loss and toxic contamination. The infilling of lakes surrounding the project, followed by lacklustre approaches to habitat restoration/amplification in neighbouring areas, does not suffice to approve such a disruptive project. Open-pit mines produce copious amounts of waste rock and leave potentially acid-leaking waste to be ‘potentially’ dealt with, as summarized in the 2018 project description summary. The tailings produced from ore production also cause massive amounts of contamination that have seemingly been described to be left alone once the mine closes, leaving major concerns to fish and wildlife populations that many of ...
