Responsible Director: Alberta Energy Regulator; Project Stage: The EIA report and applications were originally submitted November 2015. The AER completed a preliminary review of the environmental assessment report and determined on January 25, 2016 that Benga needed to address a number of major deficiencies before the review could continue.

On October 25, 2017, Benga Mining Limited submitted updated applications and environmental impact assessment report. An addendum was also submitted November 9, 2017. Requests for supplemental information were sent by the AER on December 20, 2017 and August 10, 2018.

A Joint Review Panel was established on August 16, 2018.

Requests for further supplemental information were sent by the Joint Review Panel between March 2019 and May 2020. A total of 12 addenda were submitted by Benga.

On June 25, 2020, the Joint Review Panel notified the company that the EIA report is complete pursuant to section 53 of EPEA. The review took 138 weeks.
