Canada Carbon Responds to Access Refusal Letters
September 10 2019 - 12:45PM
Canada Carbon (the “Company”)
(CCB:TSX-V) (BRUZF:OTC) (U7N1:FF) has received 66
standard form letters from 63 landowners representing 102 lots that
are located in the vicinity of the Miller Project in
Grenville-sur-la-Rouge (“GSLR”). The objective of the letters
was to inform Canada Carbon that the landowners were refusing
access to their lots.
Canada Carbon appreciates the receipt of the
letters and wants to assure each of the landowners that the Company
has and will continue to fully respect the rights of citizens to
refuse exploration on their land. Our policy and practice has
always been to contact landowners of any lot in which we have an
interest in order to obtain consent to access the field. If consent
is obtained and the exploration yields favourable results, we have
entered into surface access agreements with the landowners.
These surface access agreements enable the landowner to share in
the economics of the project.
Company representatives compared the location of
the 102 access refusal lots to the area of the proposed Miller
project. Out of the 102 lots, 83 lots are located around the
McGillivray lake area. Of the remaining 19 lots owned by 13
landowners, 5 landowners had previously advised the Company that
they didn’t allow exploration work on their land and they were
given assurances at that time that we would not explore their
properties. The lands held by the remaining 7 landowners do
not have the right geological characteristics and are therefore not
targets for exploration work. We did receive one refusal letter
related to a lot number which does not exist. Canada Carbon
did not verify the land ownership for all the lots so it could be
possible that other inaccuracies are present in the letters.
On several occasions in the past, the Company
has attempted to communicate its intentions. In a press release
dated April 4, 2017
(https://www.canadacarbon.com/newsdetail?&newsfile=ccb_20170404.htm),
the Company publicly stated that it decided not to perform
exploration work around the McGillivray Lake. In addition, on
February 16, 2017, the Company sent a letter to the municipality of
GSLR to indicate that they would not perform exploration work in
the following areas:
- The cottage area surrounding McGillivray Lake
- The Calumet urban perimeter
- The Rivière-Rouge Parc project
- The Rouge River corridor
- The historical, cultural and patrimonial areas in the
McGillivray Lake area and the northern Scotch Road settlements
- Active agricultural zones
In the same letter, the Company stated that it
intended to reduce its claim package by eliminating claims that are
not relevant to mineral exploration or by letting claims expire in
the above areas. The number of mineral claims held by Canada
Carbon at the Miller Property has decreased from 180 active claims
in 2017 to 71 claims as of this date. The Company continues to
evaluate claims potential as expiration dates come due.
Canada Carbon will be sending a response to each
of the letters in the coming days.
