Problematic and Short Lived Mining Operation

It is of my opinion that the Strange Lake Rare Earth Mining Project be suspended under the current Detailed Project Description (May 31, 2024), for the following reasons:

1. Torngat Metals wants to be recognized as a leader in environmental and socially responsible rare-earth mining and processing technologies, which has been reinforced by the extent of their initial Detailed Project Description. Notably, the company received a grant from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry of Québec for the development of advanced rare-earth processing techniques i.e. increasing the competitiveness of Canadian mining and resource viability. I am concerned of the vested interest from the Government of Quebec and the short-lived economic benefits versus negative environmental impacts.
2. The construction of the single lane access road to the port area of Anaktalak, N.L. only to ship rare-earth metals along the coast of Labrador is a roundabout and inefficient means to an end, and does not meet the innovative, environmental and socially responsible ethos framed by Torngat Metals. Alternative routes that more thoughtfully address Indigenous rights, support sustainable transport past a 30-year plan and acknowledges durability in rugged winter environments should be examined.   
3. Further investigation and more concrete proposals related to the long-term effects on water quality from open pit mining, concentration of rare-earth and storage of waste rock at the Lake Brisson site need to be addressed. Potable water and wastewater solutions invested in for the duration of the mining operation should be extended, maintained, developed and constructed for any Indigenous group that would like to participate.
4. Some maps accessible on the Torngat Metals website attaining to the Strange Lake Rare Earth Mining Project show Innu and Inuit points of interest on the coast of labrador, while Detailed Project Description reveal in the immediate proximity to Labrador Inuit Land that fall within the proposed mine operation. For the purpose of transparency large scale maps should more clearly show Indigenous boundaries and/or explicitly note proximity to proposed sites.
