Building Canada’s Next Gold Mining District

TMAC strives to continually achieve compliance with the various regulatory requirements and maintain community relationships. The Company performs ongoing environmental monitoring in accordance with the existing Water Licences, Framework Agreement, Project Certificate, authorizations, management plans and environmental effects monitoring plans.

Environmental Management System

TMAC has a functioning environmental management system (EMS) composed of management plans and guidance documents that were developed under its Framework Agreement with the Kitikmeot Inuit Association and approved under its Project Certificates and Water Licences for the Hope Bay development. The purpose of the EMS is to provide the framework for TMAC to achieve its environmental, health and safety goals through a consistent review and evaluation. The EMS outlines how goals and objectives are stablished to manage regulatory, licence and/or permit requirements and agreements with the Kitikmeot Inuit Association. The EMS also provides a framework for governance and environmental management practices. These practices demonstrate how TMAC will avoid, reduce, or minimize the potential environmental effects identified in the Project Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The core elements of the EMS are described in Figure 1.

Stakeholder Engagement

TMAC is committed to engaging positively and effectively with all stakeholders, including government and local communities in a manner that emphasizes respect, integrity and demonstrates a willingness to learn from experience and embrace necessary change. TMAC‘s commitment to consultation and engagement is reflected in its corporate policies, operational practices, and management plans. Our key stakeholder relationships are presented in Figure 2.

Environmental Performance

TMAC’s Commitment to Ethical Business Conduct describes standards of conduct related to the environment. These comprise ongoing and independent auditing of our environmental performance, continually evaluating the design and implementation of environmental management systems, benchmarking against industry best practice, and making the resources available for TMAC personnel to meet their environmental management obligations. In support of the standards of conduct, TMAC has a Corporate Social Responsibility, Safety, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee in place that is mandated with assessing environmental risks to the corporation, reviewing and amending environmental policies, standards, accountabilities and programs as needed, maintaining surveillance on the corporation’s policy and legislative compliance status, and responding to specific environmental matters as directed.

TMAC’s Environmental Management System and associated management plans provide the mechanism by which TMAC monitors and reports on the performance of the proposed mitigations to avoid, reduce, or eliminate adverse residual effects. Where practicable, the management plans include indicators and thresholds that are used to assess and evaluate performance of the proposed mitigation measures. The plans are reviewed and updated as required to incorporate adaptive changes or additional mitigation measures based on information and feedback collected by the monitoring programs. As per the requirements of the Project Certificates and the Terms and Conditions of Type A Water Licences for the Hope Bay Project, TMAC reports monitoring results on a monthly or annual basis. These monthly and annual reports can be reviewed on the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB) public registry (www.nirb.ca) and the Nunavut Water Board (NWB) public registry (www.nwb-oen.ca).

The Executive Summary of TMAC's 2018 NIRB Annual Report, which highlights associated compliance monitoring reports, is shown below.

Closure and Rehabilitation

TMAC has closure and reclamation plans for all its sites that were developed under its Framework Agreement with the Kitikmeot Inuit Association and approved under its Project Certificate and Water Licences for the Hope Bay development. The closure and rehabilitation philosophy at TMAC begins during project development and throughout operations to apply progressive reclamation where practical to do so. The overall objectives of the closure and reclamation approach are to establish stable chemical and physical conditions to ensure the future use of the site following reclamation, while meeting the requirements of Inuit, Federal and Territorial governments, landowners, local communities and regulatory authorities.

Over the life of the Project, it is expected that techniques and methodology for mine site reclamation will continue to evolve. Planning for the mine site reclamation will be risk based and remain dynamic in order to take into account results of on-going studies and identified practices for the site-specific conditions as this knowledge base is expanded over time.
