BWR Exploration Inc. Receives Authorization to Proceed with Soil Remediation Program at Little Stull Lake, NE Manitoba
November 04 2022 - 8:37AM
BWR Exploration Inc. (the “Company” or “BWR”) (TSX.V: BWR) is
pleased to announce that it has received a Peer Review Report (“PR
report”) from the environmental consulting firm Pinchin Ltd. and
has shared the report with Manto Sipi Cree Nation’s Chief and
Council as well as Manitoba Ministry of Environment, Climate and
Parks (“MECP”) for their respective review and guidance. BWR
recently received authorization from both MSCN and MECP to proceed
with the soil remediation program as outlined in the PR report. BWR
representatives along with members of the MSCN community are
heading into the Little Stull Lake exploration camp to commence the
work over the next few days.
Authorization to Proceed: As
alluded to in BWR’s news release dated October 17, 2022, BWR
engaged Pinchin Ltd. to complete a peer review of a Hydrocarbon in
Soil Report regarding a previously identified small area of soil
contamination at BWR’s Little Stull Lake camp. BWR received the
Peer Review report (“PR Report”) on October 27 that recommended
excavation and removal of the contaminated soil to a Ministry
approved disposal site. On November 1, 2022, BWR received an
authorization to proceed from MECP. Discussions were held between
MSCN, BWR and Pinchin that led to MSCN deciding that the remedial
plan as outlined in the PR Report should proceed, subject to a
commitment from BWR to replace the contaminated soil with
uncontaminated soil from nearby soil mounds; BWR can now proceed
with the soil remediation as recommended by Pinchin and authorized
by MECP. The PR Report also recommended that additional soil
samples be taken in an area to the south and east of the previously
delineated area, to ensure that there are no further exceedances in
hydrocarbon analysis in an area that Pinchin determined was not
previously adequately sampled. This area also contains small mounds
of previously disturbed (circa 1985) soil, that would be used (if
it is determined to be non-contaminated) to replace the excavated
soil by spreading it over the exposed bedrock, allowing nearby
vegetation to spread and flourish. BWR was earlier authorized to
complete minor repairs and some camp maintenance at the site to
prepare it for the onset of winter. A small crew is being mobilized
to the camp to complete the remedial work, further soil sampling
and camp repairs.
Work Permit update: BWR’s
October 17, 2022, news release also alluded to an in-community
meeting that was scheduled for later that day. This meeting took
place, and was well attended by many community members. BWR
presented its winter of 2023 exploration proposal that involves
diamond drilling approximately 20 exploratory holes (totaling
5000m), each of which is designed to verify and validate earlier
drillholes by other explorers. It was explained that the drilling
would be very close to earlier holes (within a meter) and only use
historical drill clearings and that access would be via existing
trails, thus limiting new disturbance to the area. This meeting is
one of the initial steps of the proposed early-stage exploration
program, that follows the Consultation Protocol Roadmap as agreed
to between MSCN and the Crown. BWR plans to attend another
in-community meeting at MSCN’s invitation, to set the stage for
entering into an early-stage exploration agreement with MSCN.
Similar update meetings would continue to happen through the
duration of the exploration program. MSCN leadership is currently
in discussions with MNRND as to next steps in the Consultation
Roadmap that should lead to a decision on the issuance of a
conditional work permit for exploration to BWR.
