Have you considered other scenarios to avoid passing through the community to transport the materials to the mine sites?

• Options for the current sealift season were carefully analyzed to ensure minimal impact on the surrounding communities.

• In Baker Lake, the routing to Meadowbank Complex has been chosen in order to avoid contact with the local community. Specific road sections will be closed to traffic during the shipment transportation. Communication through the local radio and on social media will be done to inform the community of unloading times and that the road remains closed.

• Note that the community of Chesterfield Inlet will also be kept informed on the sealift routing prior its arrival close to the community.

• In the event of bad weather, the vessels will be using the north passage which means that it will pass in front of the Coral Harbor community. Community members will be informed if it happens.
