PO Box 610, 7720 17 Avenue Coleman, Alberta T0K 0M0 montem-resources.com 26 April 2021 Prairie and Northern Region Canada Place Suite 1145, 9700 Jasper Avenue Edmonton, AB T0L 1Y0 Attention: Tara Fulton, Team Lead Dear Ms. Fulton, RE: Montem Resources Tent Mountain Mine – Response to Designation Request from Ktunaxa Nation Council dated April 1, 2021 Montem Resources Alberta Operations Ltd. (“Montem”) is in receipt of correspondence dated April 1, 2021 from the Ktunaxa Nation Council (“KNC”), on behalf of the Ktunaxa Nation (“Ktunaxa”), to the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (“IAAC”) requesting that the Tent Mountain Mine Project (the “Project”) be designated for federal review in accordance with section 9(3) of the Impact Assessment Act.1 Montem respects the Ktunaxa’s rights and interests in the area of the Project as well as the concerns raised by the KNC. Montem has commenced engagement with the KNC to better understand how resumption of mining at the Tent Mountain Mine site will potentially impact the Ktunaxa and to ensure that any impacts to their rights and interests are addressed. Montem reiterates its request that the Project not be designated for the detailed reasons set out below including: 1. The Project is the restart of a small, existing mining operation on a previously disturbed brownfield mine site, with a relatively short duration (approximately 14 years) with a production capacity of less than 5,000 tonnes per day. It is not a new mine or a large expansion that would warrant federal designation; 2. The Project is an existing and permitted operation with mining activities that currently cross the provincial boundary between the Province of Alberta and the Province of British Columbia.

ABOUT MONTEM MONTEM RESOURCES Coal Mining in the Crowsnest Pass The Crowsnest Pass has been a key pillar in western Canadian coal mining for over 120 years. The Canadian Pacific Railway built its southern main line from Lethbridge Alberta through the Crowsnest Pass into British Columbia in 1898. A number of coal mines in the region both in Alberta and British Columbia commenced operations immediately afterward. A series of mining towns were built along the railway line from Hillcrest and Bellevue in the east to Sparwood in the west.

  • Castle Special Place Conceptual Proposal for Legislated Protected Areas
    Castle Special Place Conceptual Proposal for Legislated Protected Areas Castle Special Place Citizens’ Initiative October 2009 Castle Special Place Working Group http://www.castlespecialplace.ca Cover Photographs: Center, Charles Truscott. Clockwise from top right: Murray Anderson, Jupiter Graphics, Murray Anderson (two), Gordon Petersen (two), Jupiter Graphics, Castle-Crown Wilderness Coalition, Crowsnest Pass Museum and Glenbow Archives NA-1905-28. Castle Special Place Conceptual Proposal for Legislated Protected Areas Executive Summary This conceptual proposal from the Castle Special Place Citizens’ Initiative focuses on the 1,041 km2 Castle Special Place as mapped (Map 1) and designated by the Alberta Government as a protected area (Appendix I), with the exception of the lands held by the Castle Mountain Resort (CMR) and ski hill (a private devel- opment for which there is a municipally approved Area Structure Plan). The size is 1,035 km2 (400 mi2) without the resort lands. It is submitted to the Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation and her department in response to: 1. Broad, local and regional concern for achieving better short and long-term protection of the Castle Special Place. 2. The September 2007 announcement that the ministry hopes to see locally-driven citizens’ initiatives put forward proposals for protected areas and parks. It was an announcement made in conjunction with the successful citizens’ initiative for a new Provincial Park and Recreation Area at Drayton Valley, and emphasized again with the Minister’s April 2009 release of the Alberta Government’s Alberta’s Plan for Parks as the new policy for provincial protected areas and parks. The Citizens’ Initiative proposes that the present types of recreational uses, including hunting and fishing, and summer grazing permits continue within the ecological limits of the Castle Special Place.

Introduction passive-margin, shelf, and slope carbonate and siliciclastic The Southeast Region, in the southeast corner of the province successions that were deposited on the western fl ank of the (Fig. 1), offers a variety of mining and exploration opportunities ancient continent (Kootenay terrane, and North American accessible by well-developed infrastructure. Five operating platform); and Jurassic to Cretaceous foreland basin deposits. metallurgical coal mines in the Elk Valley account for most of It also contains parts of the Slide Mountain terrane, which Canada’s coal production and exports. Several mines produce records mid- to late- Paleozoic back-arc extension that split industrial minerals including silica, magnesite, gypsum, the western fl ank of ancestral North America to form the Slide graphite, and phosphate. Placer mining occurs throughout the Mountain ocean, and Quesnellia and its basement (Okanagan region, and several small operations produce aggregate, sand subterrane), which are entirely exotic to North America (Nelson and gravel, and dimension stone. The region also hosts the and Colpron, 2007; Nelson et al., 2013). By mid-Jurassic, the historic lead-zinc-silver Sullivan Mine, which operated from emerging Canadian Cordillera had been transformed from 1909 to 2001, and produced more than 7.9 Mt of zinc, 8.4 Mt of a set of loosely connected arc and pericratonic terranes, to a lead, and 298 Moz of silver.

B. Newmarch VICTORIA, B.C. Printed by DON MCDIARMID, Printer to the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty 1953 PREFACE This bulletin dealing in particular with the Fernie coal area and in a general way with the very important Crowsnest coal basin is mainly as it was prepared by C. B. Newmarch as a dissertation for presentation to the Faculty of Princeton University in candidacy for the degree of doctor of philosophy. The bulletin includes descriptions of the Michel strip mines and of a method proposed to assist in correlation of coal seams, by use of spectrochemical analyses of the ash from coal samples.
