The Quebec Mineral Exploration Association (AEMQ) has awarded Stornoway Diamond Corp., its E3 Plus award for the company’s “high level of environmental and social responsibility” in managing the Renard Diamond Project.
“This award recognizes the many years of high-quality work undertaken to establish the environmental and social framework necessary for the successful development of the Renard Project,” said Stornoway president and chief executive officer (CEO) Matt Manson.
“Over the past two years in particular, this has involved many thousands of hours of diligent environmental study and baseline assessment. Throughout the project’s permitting process, which is now nearing completion, our team has conducted regular community exchange meetings designed to tailor specific elements of the mine design to local concerns, and partnership agreements have been signed with the Crees of the Eeyou Itschee, and the communities of Chibougamau and Chapais.”
