Green, Clean, Reduce, Reuse, Recharge!
June 10th, 2021, VANCOUVER, B.C. Green Battery Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: GEM, FSE: BK2P, WKN: A2QENP, OTCQB: GBMIF) (“Green Battery” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received its , Environmental Gap Analysis report (“EGA”) completed by Norda Stelo Collective Ingenuity (“Norda Stelo”) of Quebec for Green Battery’s road accessible Berkwood Graphite project, located in NorthernQuebec.
Conclusions from the gap analysis.
- Most of the data required is already available collectively from government agencies.
- Most of the data and information contained within the Mason Graphite EIA is considered to be relevant and helpful in providing a context and background for an eventual EIA for the study area.
However, this data is dated (data collected before 2015) and therefore would need to be updated in order to comply with the requirements of the Directive (such as weather records after 2015).
- No particular issues noted.
This report identifies the environmental surveys or studies that would be required to eventually prepare an
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study which conforms to the Directive of the Ministère de
l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MELCC). This report will then be part of the PEA (Preliminary Economic Assessment) which will allow the Company to put a preliminary projected value on its resource. It presents and analyses the information publicly available about the study area and also the information presented in the Mason Graphite EIA (Hatch 2015) of the Lac Gueret Project to determine the gaps and studies that would be required for an EIA of the potential Berkwood graphite Project.
The GAP report outlines what is already known environmentally in the area and what new items are required for us to move towards our PEA. This report helps with the planning of potentially building a mine and will bring us one step closer to possible production.
We are very pleased that most of the environmental work has been done and it outlines what work will need to be completed. We are now working on the outstanding reports and coordinating the process to complete them.
