The downstream First Nation communities are SANDY LAKE, KEE-WAY-WIN, MUSKRAT DAM LAKE, BEARSKIN LAKE and FORT SEVERN. Have there been proper discussions with the First Nations regarding this project? Have they agreed to this test drilling when it can affect their water? Have they agreed to this area being mined if there is anything found? Have they been given the chance to consider the long-term environmental impacts of this project?

It will affect them directly, and this is something that should be taken into account. These communities can already have problems with clean drinking water, and anything that could make the situation worse, would need all of them to agree to.
