INTRODUCTION This report documents AuRico Metals Inc.’s (AuRico; the Proponent) communications and consultations with the Tse Keh Nay (TKN)1 from January 1 until September 30, 2016 during the review of AuRico’s Application for an Environmental Assessment (EA) Certificate (Application) for the proposed Kemess Underground Project (KUG, the Project). The report builds on the July 2016 Application Review Aboriginal Consultation Report, which reported on AuRico’s communications and consultations with TKN from January 1 to April 15, 2016 (ERM 2016). This report was submitted to the BC Environmental Assessment Office (BC EAO) on June 10, 2016 following review and comment from TKN2. This report has been prepared pursuant to BC EAO’s letter of April 22, 2016 which directs AuRico to provide an updated Aboriginal Consultation Report on day 1003 (October 14, 2016) of the 180-day Application review, following TKN review. This report is consistent with the requirements set out in the BC EAO’s April 22, 2016 letter and AuRico’s Aboriginal Consultation Plan (the Kemess Underground Project: Aboriginal Consultation Plan) submitted to the BC EAO (ERM Rescan 2014).4 As per section 13.3.1 of the Section 11 Order (BC EAO 2014), this report summarizes AuRico’s consultation with the Schedule B Aboriginal groups, which include the Takla Lake First Nation (TLFN) Tsay Keh Dene First Nation (TKDN), and Kwadacha Nation (KwN). 1.1 ABORIGINAL REVIEW OF DRAFT REPORT AuRico provided a draft of this report to TKN (TLFN, TDKN, and KWN) on October 16, 2016 and requested comments by November 4, 2016. AuRico received comments from TKDN on November 2, 2016 and from KwN on November 25, 2016. On December 1, 2016 TLFN advised it had no comments on the report. The report has been revised to address the comments received from the TKDN and KwN as described in (new) Appendix C, TKN Comments and AuRico’s Responses on the Draft Application Review Aboriginal Consultation Report. The BC EAO also provided comments on a draft of this report on October 18, 2016. As a result of these comments changes have been to Section 3, Section 5, Table 6-1, and Appendix B. AuRico submitted a final version of the report to the BC EAO on December 7, 2016. 1 The TKN includes representatives of the Takla Lake First Nation (TLFN), Tsay Keh Dene First Nation (TKDN) and Kwadacha Nation (KwN), who are working together with respect to this Project. This alliance has been in place since the early stages of the proposed Project. 2 The BC EAO posted this report to the e-PIC site on July 29, 2016, here: http://a100.gov.bc.ca/appsdata/epic/html/deploy/epic_document_412_40809.html 3 TLFN, TKDN, and KwN agreed to receive a draft of the report on day 100 at the same time the draft would be submitted to the BC EAO. Following review and comment from the First Nations, and subsequent revisions to the report, AuRico will submit a final version of the report to the BC EAO and TKN. 4 AuRico submitted the final Kemess Underground Project: Aboriginal Consultation

V6T 1Z4 Prepared for Nechako Enhancement Society c/o Suite 850-899 West Hasting Street Vancouver B.C. V6C 2W2 August 23, 2007 Executive Summary The Nechako Enhancement Society (NES), a joint partnership of Alcan Inc. and the Province of British Columbia, is considering building a Cold Water Release Facility (CWRF) at Kenney Dam on the Nechako Reservoir. The CWRF would draw cold deep water from the reservoir to reduce the temperature of the Nechako River for fish migration. The NES has requested an assessment of the ability of the CWRF to deliver up to 170 m3/s of 10 ºC water between July 20 and August 20 (a total of 0.47 km3). We have examined the physical limnology of the two basins adjacent to Kenney Dam (Knewstubb and Natalkuz lakes). In particular, we have: • Collected temperature profiles in the summer of 2005, 2006 and 2007; these were compared with data from 1990 (Limnotek) and 1994 (Triton).

  • TREATY 8: a British Columbian Anomaly
    TREATY 8: A British Columbian Anomaly ARTHUR J. RAY N THE ANNALS OF NATIVE BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1999 undoubtedly will be remembered as the year when, in a swirl of controversy, Ithe provincial legislature passed the Nisga'a Agreement. The media promptly heralded the agreement as the province's first modern Indian treaty. Unmentioned, because it has been largely forgotten, was the fact that the last major "pre-modern" agreement affecting British Columbia -Treaty 8 - had been signed 100 years earlier. This treaty encompasses a sprawling 160,900-square-kilometre area of northeastern British Columbia (Map 1), which is a territory that is nearly twenty times larger than that covered by the Nisga'a Agreement. In addition, Treaty 8 includes the adjoining portions of Alberta and the Northwest Territories. Treaty 8 was negotiated at a time when British Columbia vehemently denied the existence of Aboriginal title or self-governing rights. It therefore raises two central questions. First, why, in 1899, was it ne­ cessary to bring northeastern British Columbia under treaty? Second, given the contemporary Indian policies of the provincial government, how was it possible to do so? The latter question raises two other related issues, both of which resurfaced during negotiations for the modern Nisga'a Agreement. The first concerned how the two levels of government would share the costs of making a treaty. (I will show that attempts to avoid straining federal-provincial relations over this issue in 1899 created troublesome ambiguities in Treaty 8.) The second concerned how much BC territory had to be included within the treaty area.

  • 20. Aboriginal Rights and Interests Effects
    20. ASSESSMENT OF ABORIGINAL AND TREATY RIGHTS AND RELATED INTERESTS 20.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses potential adverse effects on Aboriginal and Treaty rights and related interests which may arise from the Project during construction, operations, decommissioning/reclamation, and post-closure. Underground mining activities have the potential to adversely affect Aboriginal and Treaty rights by interfering with Aboriginal groups’ ability to engage in practices, customs, and traditions that are integral to their distinctive cultures, and/or by interfering with the exercise of rights expressly recognized in a treaty. Interference with Aboriginal and Treaty rights is generally indirect, resulting from changes to environmental conditions that are necessary for the continued exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The assessment is based on information derived from the Proponent’s engagement with potentially- affected Aboriginal groups, environmental assessments carried out elsewhere in the Application/EIS, and the review of secondary data. Wherever possible, the assessment addresses potential effects on Aboriginal and treaty rights and related interests as understood from the perspective of the Aboriginal groups in question. Baseline reports informing this assessment are appended to the Application/EIS and include: Ethnographic Overview and Traditional Knowledge and Use Desk-Based Research Report (Appendix 17-A) and Saulteau First Nations Knowledge and Use Study for HD Mining Murray River Coal Project (Appendix 17-B). 20.2 REGULATORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK The Crown has a legal duty to consult with and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal interests when it contemplates a conduct that might adversely impact the potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty right. The Crown delegated procedural aspects of this duty, with respect to the Project, to the Proponent through the Section 11 Order and EIS Guidelines.

Suite 334 125A – 1030 Denman Street Vancouver, BC V6G 2M6 Prepared for: Nechako Enhancement Society & Nechako Watershed Council Contact person: Kristann Boudreau Senior Consultant, 4Thought Solutions Inc. Telephone: (604) 689-8443 Fax: 1-866-873-4045 E-mail: [email protected] Disclaimer: This internal discussion paper was commissioned to assist the Nechako Watershed Council with the process of developing consensus recommendations on flow regimes for the Nechako Watershed downstream of the Kenney Dam, assuming that a Cold Water Release Facility is constructed at Kenney Dam. Any views or opinions expressed in this draft are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the members of the Nechako Watershed Council (NWC) or the Nechako Enhancement Society (NES), until the final draft has been signed off by all NWC. Date: March 18, 2005 [FINAL] Assessment of Potential Flow Regimes for the Nechako Watershed March 18, 2005 Executive Summary This report summarizes the Nechako Watershed Council’s (NWC) work, analyses, and consensus-based recommendations completed to date related to proposed flow regimes for the Nechako Watershed downstream of Kenney Dam if a cold water release facility is constructed at the dam. The facility’s construction is currently contingent on: 1) sufficient funds being contributed to the Nechako Environmental Enhancement Fund (NEEF) and, 2) the decision of the NEEF Management Committee to use the funds for the construction of a cold- water release facility (CWRF) at Kenney Dam being implemented. This report is a “working” or “living” document, recognizing that the NWC is still in the midst of a consensus-based decision-making process to develop recommendations on a preferred post-CWRF flow regime.
