Esmonde, Cavalluzzo LLP From: Dr. Brian Branfireun, London, Canada (bbranfir@uwo.ca) RE: Great Bear Project – Impact Statement (https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/evaluations/document/166124) 1) Introduction I was asked to review the above Impact Statement documents for the Kinross/Great Bear Gold Pro ject and provide an expert opinion. I have also reviewed the report of Dr. K. Morin (May 2026) re lated to this same Impact Statement, as his expertise in geochemistry- and mine-related processes is relevant and complementary to mine. I have provided expert opinion on many submissions and memos related to dimensions of this project leading up to this Impact Statement, and this document largely relies on those prior submissions which will be referred to here where appropriate, in the in terest of brevity. Given the extensive technical scope of the IS documents I am unable to comment on many aspects as they are outside of my area of expertise. As such I am ...

  • As a First Nation living immediately downstream from this project, we will live with the consequences for many generations to come. It is our children who will drink the water, eat the fish, pick the wild rice, swim, and learn what it means to be Anishinaabe on this river whose waters will carry the effluent from this gold mine if it is built. It is our people who will search in vain for moose and caribou to hunt on the landscape that has had its forests fragmented and degraded by access roads, clearcuts, seismic lines, pits, trenches, clearings, and mines. It is our people who will be impacted if the tailings dam fails. It is our people who will be poisoned when toxics leach into the water. It is our people whose fear and anxiety, already far too high and fatal due to the mercury crisis, will be heightened by the threat this mining project poses to our wellbeing. Grassy Narrows does not consent to the Great Bear Gold Project. And Grassy Narrows does not consent to the IS ...
