Environment Minister Kevin Aylward announced today that he
will need additional time to evaluate the registration documents
for "Advanced Exploration Infrastructure" for Voisey's
Bay Mineral Development. In written notification to the company,
the minister noted that the amount of information contained in
the registration sdocument is substantial and "I will
require additional time to evaluate the submissions in the
context of the Environmental Assessment Act," he said. The
extra time will allow the minister to determine whether or not
further review of the registration documents is needed.
