Environment and Community

Environmental and social impact assessment ("ESIA") has become obligatory for major developments in Canada since the mid 1970s. NML is committed to meeting or exceeding the requirements of applicable environmental legislation and jurisprudence. Its starting point for doing that is early and frequent communication with the communities and individuals who might be affected by its activities, even when the law does not subject those activities, such as exploration, to environmental impact assessment.
