SECURITY rNs/5 gdymJ5 Ensuring a fair distribution of liability s/C4bEx5 sfx3iz Nmd2lA

Security rNs/5 gdymJ5 The KIA is in agreement with the financial security management cost recommendation of $86,519,614 which represents the current liability We request that total reclamation liability for the Meadowbank Mine Project is held under two instruments: Kivalliq Inuit Association Commercial Land Lease; and The Water License, to be held by the Minister of AANDC r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 xqctc34g5 rNs/5 gdymiqi4 bfx s/C4bExi5 WJ5, $86,519,614 bfxl vmQ/six34g5 s/C4bEx5 sfxizi xeh3izk5, xS34t8N34gu mDi4 WoExEJtc3lx3ix34g4: r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 kNu4 xg3izi4 tAux3mb, xg3izk5 rNs/i4 gdymJbsJ5; xml wmoEi3j5 Mwn5 tAu/six34g34, v?mgcfi wkoEpi5 uigzi5

SecurityrNs/5 gdymJ5 KIA initially proposed equal distribution of security (50:50) between the Minister of AANDC. After receipt of AANDC’s letter of April 8/15 to NWB, KIA intends to hold $78,834, under the KIA lease, for three reasons: 1. No security management agreement has been reached to resolve the double-bonding issue. r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 yKo3u4 WJmMs34g5 rNs/5 xg3iq5 xF4lt4 G%):%)H xFctc3lt4 v?mgcf5 wkoEpqi4 uigu4. kNKu wmoEi3j5 vtmp5 ttcsyxZi4Xb v?mgcf5 wkoEpzi5, r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 tAuxoC/4g5 rNs/i4 &*,*#$,&!), sfx tAuxDtQlQ5: !. rNs/5 xsMiq5 xqDtcqm5, rNs/5 tusJi4 mDi4 tAux34Xb.

SecurityrNs/5 gdymJ5 2. The KIA’s mandate requires the use of security for purposes above and beyond the reclamation of the affected water resource. It is the KIA’s responsibility to ensure adequate restoration to the standard required by applicable regulations and the Production Lease. r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 WoExqi ttC4ymJi sc34ymJ34, rNs/5 gdymJ5 xgZsiq5 xgZsJ4N3mb s/C4bEx5 sfxizk5, xyqk5l wmoEi3j5. r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 WoExE/Exc3mJ4, s/C4bEx5 sfx3iz5 WoExE/s/Exc3mb moZw5 molQ5 xml xbic3mb kNs2 xg3izk5 W?oxi3j5.

SecurityrNs/5 gdymJ5 3. The Meadowbank Project is fully on Inuit Owned Land. The KIA requires sufficient funds to ensure all obligations respecting the environment are met. The KIA is concerned funds held by the Minister need not apply to the entire Production Lease, only that portion which applies directly to the water resource; and funds held by the Minister may be insufficient for remediation if used for compensation. xS34t8N34g34 s/C4bExF4 wkw5 Nuiz5 kNu WoExE/sm5. r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 rNs/q5 NmQxc34g5, x?toEi34 WoExq5 NmQxc3mb. r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 whmltc34g5 rNs/5 tAuxZsJ5 uigu5, xgZsqQNExc3mb W?oxi3j5 s/C4bEx34gi5, ryxio wmoEi3j5 xgDN34mb xeymXb; xml rNs/5 tAuxZsJ5 NmqQNExc3mb kNs2 xeh3izk5.

SecurityrNs/5 gdymJ5 Compensation and security are considered separate issues by the KIA and are addressed through different processes The KIA acknowledge security can be reduced through progressive closure and reclamation Successful reclamation decreases the potential liability of AEM, the KIA and AANDC Security amendments generally require a full amendment to the Water Licence with attendant hearings. The KIA and AANDC have discussed a process to amend security through a streamlined hearings process such as a teleconference and seek guidance from the Nunavut Water Board rNsi4 xroi34 xml gdymiq5 vmQiq5l xtQqmb, bmN r?o3u wkw5 vgpctQ5 gry/z5, xml vmQ/siq5 xtQqmb rNs/5 xg5yx3uq5 vmQ/sJ4N34g34, s/C4bExF4 sfx34Xox5yx3lA xml kN bsgMszk5 xeXox5yx3lA, s/C4bExF4 sfx34X5 s/C4bEx5 sfxXb kN xehZs5yx3iz vmQ/s5yxc/34g34, s/C4bExi5, r?o3u wkw5 vgoctQfi5, xml v?mgcfi5 rNs/5 gdymJ5 vmQ/siq5 xMa34Xb, bwm wmoei3j5 Mwn5 xMa34tbs/Exc34g34, vtmt5yb34lt4. rNs/5 gd34ymJ5 vmQ/siq5 xMaExc34Xb, r?o34 wkw5 vgpctQ5 xml wkoEp5 v?mgcfi, WoEctQ4lt4 xehwN/34g5, vtmb3lt4l xeymJu4, xml wvJ34tQlQ5 kNKu wmoEi3j5 vtmpq5
