Atrum Coal Limited advised that the Government of Alberta has announced the suspension of exploration on Category 2 lands until completion of the current stakeholder consultation process. This suspension is stated to be a function of the Alberta Government's intent to ensure the credibility of, and good faith embedded in, this consultation process. The suspension has no impact on the company as it had already halted exploration activities at its Elan Hard Coking Coal Project (Elan Project). These actions were undertaken in order to direct maximum focus, effort and good faith to the stakeholder consultation process. It has been confirmed that the exploration suspension does not apply to care and maintenance activities, including the collection of environmental data. As a result, the company will maintain limited environmental data collection through 2021 to preserve the continuity of this data (from previous years) and the overall integrity of this work to accurately inform future impact assessment submissions. The company is set to work intensively with all stakeholders over the course of this year to assist in the development of a balanced and fair coal policy that reflects modern and sustainable mining practices.
