Project design has therefore prioritizedminimal environmental footprint and progressiverehabilitation.The Renard Project occupies just 3.1km2 within asingle watershed.All water in contact with mining materials will becollected and treated prior to release.Geochemical characterisation of ProcessedKimberlite and country rock waste indicatesminimal metal leach potential and no acidgeneration.Buildings have been designed and materialsselected to facilitate dismantling, recycling and re-vegetationat the end of the mine life.First part of $15.2 financial guarantee for siterehabilitation and closure costs provided to theMinistre de lnergie et des Ressources naturelleson August 29th 2014.Mine Site Post Reclamation 32. 32In March 2012 Stornoway concluded the Mecheshoo Agreementwith the Cree Nation of Mistissini and the Grand Council of theCrees (EI).The Mecheshoo Agreement provides for employment andbusiness opportunities, the Crees, fosters cultural, environmentaland social protection, and provides for the Crees participation inthe projects long term financial success.In July 2012 Stornoway concluded a Declaration of Partnershipwith the communities of Chapais and Chibougamau.The Declaration of Partnership provides a framework to addressissues of mutual interest such as communication, employment andeconomic diversification.Signing the Mecheshoo Agreement, March 2012Renards Social LicenceLocal and Regional Participation in the ProjectSigning Partnership Agreements withChibougamau and Chapais, July 2012September 2014 Onsite ContractorsBlasteck Makaahikan Sodexo ForchemexEntreprise Maltais MY Surveying Forages Rouillier Foresterie NordicESG Const.
