Generation Mining Limited announced that the Company has received the Endangered Species Act permit ("ESA permit") issued by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks ("MECP") for Caribou (Boreal population) ("caribou") and Little Brown Myotis, Northern Myotis and Tri-coloured Bats ("SAR bats"). This permit includes conditions intended to minimize impacts to caribou and SAR bats, as well as to create an overall benefit for these species at risk. The ESA permit conditions for caribou include off-site restoration of habitat, research initiatives, caribou population monitoring, and stewardship collaboration with Biigtigong Nishnaabeg (?BN?) and other Indigenous communities.

The ESA permit conditions related to SAR bats include construction of a bat hibernaculum, installation of roosting structures and monitoring. In the preparation of the ESA permit application relating to caribou and SAR bats, GenPGM has worked closely with BN, extensively with MECP, Species at Risk department and the Senior MECP officials to develop these permit conditions.
