  • Bonjour, j'aimerais savoir quels types de rejets hydriques émaneront de l'usine de séparation et quelles en sont les composantes sachant que les rejets et le ruissellement pourront se retrouver dans le milieux marins. La deuxième plus grande zostoraie du Québec est essentiellement situé dans la baie de Sept-iles et la possible contamination par des substances diverses incluant des radio-nucléîdes pourraient contaminer la chaîne trophique et avoir un impacte négatif sur l'ensemble des animaux incluant les mammiferes marins, les poissons et les crustacés sans compter les mollusques. la Baie de Sept-iles est aussi un parc de pêches important.  Ma  deuxieme question est intemporel et signal mon inquiétude concernant les dépots polymérisés des déchets miniers et l'élévation innévitable des océans. il est prévu ...

  • Comments on the Strange Lake Rare Earth Mining Project - IPD You will find below comments from the Nunatsiavut Government regarding the proposed Strange Lake mine. Overall, this project is one of the most ambitious industrial developments to ever be considered in Northern Labrador, and the risk of significant and irreversible harm to the environment and Labrador Inuit it poses are substantial. In this context, there is no place for uncertainty, and the level of standards to which the proponent’s evaluation of potential impacts and its selection of mitigation measures are being held to must be proportionate to these risks. Potential impacts As stated above, described by the proponent in the project description and commented on extensively by Nunatsiavut beneficiaries, the project has the potential to have significant negative impacts. While the list is extensive, we singled out two categories of potential impacts here, amongst the especially concerning: ...

  • I am writing to share my opposition to the rare earth mining project proposal (which is said to be the dirtiest mining in the world ) because I believe it will be detrimental to so many aspects of life in and around Nunavik. This type of mine will not only affect the land and the wildlife, but it will affect the people that call the area home, not to mention all the other communities surrounding it. This kind of mining cannot be done. Our people need to be protected.

  • Both personally, and as an individual trained as an ecotoxicologist I am deeply opposed to this project. The environmental implications of this project are staggering. Rare earth metal mining is extremely destructive, requiring enormous areas of land to be mined to produce the desired elemental quantities. Permitting this project to progress would not only culminate in geological upheaval on an immense scale but would also result in the potential release and bioaccumulation of trace metals, along with radioactive elements and other chemical substances. These could negatively impact the health of aquatic and terrestrial wildlife proximate to the proposed location with potential eventual population level effects. First, this mine will be located on the George River caribou herd grounds. As the George River herd population has currently reached critical status, a disturbance on this scale could have a significant negative impact on these animals’ recruitment ...

To return upon them, in my opinion the possibility of truly purifying the waste water is not realistic.  This will affect many important and vulnerable populations of animals, caribou and salmon just to name two, not to mention any impacts it may have on human populations not only in Kangiqsualujjuaq, but also in other Ungava communities were the contaminants to spread into the bay.

A total of 84 samples were collected during this program. The results do not affect the resource estimation. 9.4.1 Strange Lake B-Zone Prefeasibility Study Work A 1,000-m drilling program was planned by AMEC of Mississauga, Ontario, to drill geomechanical and geotechnical monitoring holes for the prefeasibility study. These holes were drilled within the proposed pit shell and along its northern edge. In addition, a 150 m condemnation drilling program was planned, south of the B Zone deposit, to assist with the location of the potential mine's infrastructure. Prefeasibility field work on the B-Zone project commenced in July, 2012, with completion later in 2012. AECOM conducted environmental and off-site infrastructure surveys.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed rare earth mining project in Nunavik, particularly its potential to become one of the dirtiest mining operations globally and its alarming threat to Nunavik. My great grandfather played a pivotal role in establishing Pyramid Camp along the river, creating a legacy that has been cherished by dozens for generations; not for it to be negatively impacted by this. Any disruption to this delicate balance poses a severe threat not only to the environment but also to the cultural heritage that has been woven into the fabric of Inuit history. We all understand the importance of economic development and such, but it is crucial that such development is sustainable and respectful to the unique ecosystems that sustain life. The potential irreversible damage to this and its surroundings should not be overlooked in the pursuit of profit. There is soooo many alternative, environmentally responsible ...
