Search Minerals Inc. (TSXV:SMY) announced that the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency has confirmed that the Foxtrot project will require an environment assessment. This is a milestone event in the development of the Foxtrot rare earth element project.
As quoted in the press release:
The CEAA has also prepared draft environmental impact statement guidelines for the Foxtrot Rare Earth Element Mine Project. The draft Guidelines are available for public comment until February 14, 2018.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial government could determine that further study is required, and issue separate guidelines from that provided by the CEAA. It is expected that the provincial guidelines would augment the CEAA and Search would work with both the Federal and Provincial governments and submit one document for review.
Greg Andrews, president and CEO, commented:
This notice by the CEAA is a milestone in the development of the Foxtrot Rare Earth Element Project in Southeastern Labrador. We look forward to the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement and working with all our current and future stakeholders in an open and transparent manner. In addition, upon review of the guidelines, Search can initiate the planning to commence the environmental base line studies which have been identified.
