June 10 2024 - 5:45PM
Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: FPC) (“
Falco” or the
“
Corporation”) would like to thank all those who
participated and enriched the discussions during the public
information period of the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur
l'environnement (BAPE) and reiterates its commitment to working
closely with the community, environmental groups, and authorities
for the success of Falco’s Horne 5 Project (“
Falco’s
Horne 5 Project” or the “
Project”).
This information period, which was held from
April 24 to June 10, 2024, allowed citizens, groups, the
municipality and organizations to learn about the various
environmental, economic and social aspects of the Project. During
this period, it was also possible to make requests for public
consultation or mediation to the Minister of the Environment, the
Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks.
On April 23rd, Falco officially wrote to the
minister in charge and requested a public review by the BAPE on
Falco’s Horne 5 Project. By adding its voice to those of the
municipality of Rouyn-Noranda and several local organizations,
Falco emphasized the importance of holding public hearings for this
large-scale project.
Hélène Cartier, Vice-President, Environment,
Sustainable Development and Community Relations, commented: “We
firmly believe that the active participation by the community and
various stakeholders is essential for the development of Falco’s
Horne 5 Project. The holding of public hearing consultations
through the BAPE will ensure a neutral consultation process with
greater transparency and ensure that citizens’ concerns are heard
and responded to.”
Luc Lessard, President and CEO declared, “We
would like to express our sincere appreciation to the community for
their participation in the public information period. Your
commitment and contribution demonstrate the importance placed by
the community to ensure that the Project is developed
collaboratively and for the benefit of all communities. Integrated
into its environment, Falco’s Horne 5 Project is expected to
generate social and economic benefits for future generations and
thus contribute to the development of Rouyn-Noranda and the entire
Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.”
At the end of this public information period, a
report will be sent to the Minister and broadcast on the BAPE
digital platforms. A decision by the Minister of the Environment,
the Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks will be made
on the requirement to hold a public review of the BAPE on the
social, ecological and economic aspects of the Project.
Falco would like to point out that it took note
of each concern raised during the public information session and
once again invites the population to come and meet the team at the
Espace Falco, premises located at 157 avenue Principale, in
Rouyn-Noranda.
