At 90 km north of downtown Montreal and 15 km from the nearest municipality, the Kremer project advances using existing seasonal forestry roads (May → Nov.). Our teams stay in off-grid trailers or rented cabins near the work site; helicopter flights are infrequent and reserved for inspections. Here’s how we combine on-the-ground responsibility with financial discipline.
🌱 Environmental Footprint
- Existing roads: zero new permanent roads; reduced clearing and erosion.
- Local logistics: trailers/cabins → minimized daily travel.
- Water protection: no continuous pumping or damming; groundwater remains intact.
- 3D geoscientific targeting enhanced by the presence of dense (gravity), magnetic (MAG), and conductive (EM) bodies in the mineralized zones of Kremer-1 and Kremer-2, helping avoid unnecessary drilling.
🤝 Regional Benefits
- Local purchases: lodging, food services, mechanics, and small contracts awarded to local contractors.
- Community engagement: active “Community” page; Community Relations Director already in place; regular meetings with stakeholders; municipal follow-up committee in preparation.
🏛️ Governance
- Board of Directors: five members, including two independents.
- Updated risk register (geology, metallurgy, finances).
