The Citizens for a Responsible Mine (CRM) supports a rigourous environmental assessment of the proposed mine in which the short- and long-term economic, environmental and social costs and benefits are given careful consideration. Our hope is that an appropriately mandated Review Panel and a comprehensive Environmental Impact Statement will lead to the approval of a safe, clean and sustainable mine that benefits this and future generations in our region.
