EDM Resources Inc ( (TSE:EDM) ) has issued an announcement.

EDM Resources Inc. has submitted a comprehensive Fisheries Act Authorization application to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, marking a key federal permitting milestone for the planned extension of the Scotia Mine’s main pit. The filing, supported by more than two decades of environmental data and detailed engineering work, is intended to secure federal regulatory approval required to move the project closer to construction readiness.

The mine plan is designed to avoid in‑water works and mapped fish-bearing watercourses, maintain a 30‑metre vegetated buffer from aquatic features, and route all mine water through existing treatment systems before controlled discharge. EDM has also committed to extensive environmental monitoring, developed a fish habitat offsetting program with regional partners, and prepared a $1.16 million draft performance bond, positioning the project as a more environmentally robust and socially engaged operation pending federal review.
