Century Global Commodities Corporation
(“
Century” or the “
Company”)
(TSX:CNT) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary and special
purpose vehicle, Joyce Direct Iron Inc. (“JDII”), has submitted an
Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) for the Joyce Lake Direct
Shipping Iron Ore Project (the “Project” or “Joyce Lake”) to the
Impact Assessment Agency of the Government of Canada (the “IAAC”)
and to the Environmental Assessment Division of the Department of
Environment and Climate Change of the Government of Newfoundland
and Labrador (the “NLDOECC”).
The EIS has been produced to meet the
requirements of the March 5, 2013 federal EIS guidelines that apply
to the Project. The EIS states the fundamental elements of the
Project design and analyzes its environmental, economic and social
impacts with the corresponding mitigation, controls and benefits
that will be present over the operation of the Project from
construction to closure. The EIS registration documents can be
found on the NLDOECC website:
https://www.gov.nl.ca/ecc/projects/project-2143/.
Environmental assessment by the Government of
Newfoundland and Labrador is a critical first step towards
permitting the construction and operation of Joyce Lake. The EIS is
intended to fulfil requirements for an environmental assessment
pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 and to
the Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Protection Act. The
Project was originally registered with the NLDOECC on October 15,
2012. IAAC determined that a federal environmental assessment was
required on January 4, 2013. This EIS has been prepared by JDII in
accordance with the requirements of the federal and provincial
governments.
Sandy Chim, CEO of the Company said, “I’m very
pleased with submission of the Joyce Lake EIS to the environmental
agencies of Newfoundland and Labrador and the federal government of
Canada to officially commence the provincial and continue the
federal environmental assessment process. This is a significant
milestone in the development of the Project, putting us in a
position to advance the Project during the window of opportunity
provided by a strong recovering iron ore market.”
