Subject: Application Exempt from Screening: UNOR Inc.'s Mouse Lake Exploration Project

Attachments: 070321-NIRB Ltr Application Exempt Distribution-OMAE.pdf; 060327-06EN009_Screening Decision to INAC-OMAE.doc

Dear Stanley Anablak:

 

Please see attached correspondence regarding UNOR Inc.’s Mouse Lake Exploration Project.

 

The following is a summary of the information contained in the attached letter.

 

On February 26, 2007, the Nunavut Impact Review Board (NIRB or Board) received an application from the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) for UNOR Inc. to conduct mining exploration in the Mouse Lake Area. NIRB is of the understanding this project proposal has been previously screened under NIRB File No.: 06EN009 for the Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) Land Use Application #N2006C0001 in order for UNOR Inc. (formerly Hornby Bay Exploration Limited) to conduct mining exploration in the Mouse Lake Area. On March 27, 2006, NIRB issued a 12.4.4(a) Screening Decision to INAC allowing the project proposal to proceed subject to specific terms and conditions.

 

By copy of this letter NIRB is advising parties that may have an interest in this application of the Board’s intention to exempt this application from screening on the basis that: the application has been previously permitted to proceed; and the exceptions in 12.4.3(a) and (b) do not apply. Any party objecting to the proposed screening exemption must advise NIRB in writing of the objection within seven (7) days, March 28, 2007.

 

Please submit any comments to lpayette@nirb.nunavut.ca or via fax at 867-983-2594.

 

Regards,
