The proposed Eagle’s Nest Mine would be an underground nickel, copper, platinum and palladium mine, located in the region of Northern Ontario referred to as the Ring of Fire. First Nation communities in the area have multiple concerns regarding the potential environmental impacts of mining developments on the lands and waters in their traditional homelands. Matawa First Nations Management (MFNM) is a tribal council with nine (9) member First Nation communities in the Northern Ontario. Four Rivers is the environmental services department of MFNM, providing advisory and capacity building services to the nine Matawa member First Nations. Expressions of Interest At this time, MFNM is requesting that professional organizations interested and capable of conducting a peer review of Noront’s Draft EIS/EA Report submit an Expression of Interest to MFNM. Expressions of Interest received will be used to identify capable professional organizations for future contracts once funding is secured for the review. Please be advised that a comprehensive Request for Proposal (RFP) call will be made at a later date. Expectations Expressions of Interest submissions are expected to include a proposed scope of work, schedule, approximate budget and potential professional team. It is expected that the proposed scope of work is comprehensive in nature, including both technical expertise and advice within the context and perspective of the affected First Nation communities.
