Ann: EIA Path to Finalisation, page-3

Part 2 awesome news again

GML has been working through the permitting phase for the Kvanefjeld rare earth project.
Permitting in Greenland requires three main impact assessments and supporting studies to be
prepared and accepted for public consultation. These include the EIA, Social impact assessment
(SIA), and Maritime Safety study. Studies undergo a detailed review process prior to being accepted
for the government to present for formal public consultation. The SIA and Maritime Safety Study
have been accepted for public consultation. Following EIA reviews in 2019, Greenland’s EAMRA
produced a short list of ‘Type 1’ issues for further clarification and study. Meetings were then held
with Greenland’s EAMRA to discuss Type 1 issues and determine what additional work should be
done to address these. Once Type 1 issue have been resolved, the EIA will be ready for public
consultation.
The main area of additional work to address a number of Type 1 issues is associated with the tailings
management methods. All additional studies relating to tailings management have now been
completed.
