VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX: AXU) is pleased to announce
the creation of a new panel that will give community
representatives from coastal Labrador input into project planning
and key environmental work.
Aurora is currently seeking applications from coastal Labrador
citizens who are interested in participating in the Michelin
Project Community Panel. The Panel is an important element of
Aurora's work program, which is focused on ensuring the Michelin
Project can be developed in a safe manner with minimal impact on
the land, wildlife and nearby communities.
"Our intention is to continue to be open, transparent and
participative as we move the Michelin Project forward," says Dr.
Mark O'Dea, President and CEO, Aurora Energy Resources. "The Panel
not only provides the community an in-depth forum for discussion
and direction, but gives citizens an open and direct line of access
to project planning."
The Panel's mandate is to:
- Identify opportunities to improve the project's fit within the
community through discussion of community issues and concerns
- Communicate information about the proposed Michelin Project to
the community
- Provide input on specific project details, such as tailings
management, project design, environmental and engineering studies,
and community benefits
- Provide input on consultation activities and materials
- Obtain public feedback and bring to the Panel
The Panel is to be comprised of approximately 10 members and
will include representatives from Postville, Makkovik, Nain,
Hopedale, Rigolet, North West River, Happy Valley-Goose Bay,
Sheshashiu, Natuashish and Aurora. The Panel is seeking a diverse
representation of community interests, including residents,
business owners, hunters, fishers, teachers and principals,
students (age 16 years and older), elders, health care, community
and recreation interests.
The Panel will meet six to eight times per year. The initial
membership is for one year and some travel is required as meetings
will rotate throughout North Coast communities. Deadline for
applications is July 14, 2008 with the Panel's first meeting
scheduled for August 2008.
