Joint Review Panel
Marathon PGM–Cu Mine Project
The Secretariat for the Joint Panel reviewing the proposed Marathon Platinum Group Metals and Copper Mine project will be holding information sessions on the review process in communities in the project area starting the week of October 24, 2011. As the session in Pays Plat has been postponed, the revised schedule is as follows:
The information sessions will give participants, members of the public and Aboriginal groups an opportunity to hear further about the review, the Panel’s role and mandate, and how interested parties can participate in the review process.
The Secretariat for the Panel will be making presentations on the review process and will answer questions. The Panel will not be present at these sessions.
Further information on the environmental review is available on the Canadian Environmental Assessment Registry at www.ceaa-acee.gc.ca, registry #10-05-54755.

Stillwater Canada Inc. proposes to develop and operate the Marathon Platinum Group Metals and Copper Mine Project north of Marathon, Ontario. This project involves the construction and operation of an open pit mine and mill for the purpose of extracting and processing ore containing copper and platinum group metals in addition to other activities.
The Panel is an independent body, established by the federal Minister of the Environment and the Ontario Minister of Environment to assess the environmental effects of the proposed project.
