2022-In progress
Sayona Nord Inc., an emerging lithium producer, is developing an international mining project in northern Quebec. Located approximately 130 km northwest of Chibougamau in Cree territory, the Moblan project involves high-grade spodumene mineralization (lithium ore) used in the manufacturing of batteries, essential to the energy transition. An environmental and social impact study must be updated in order to meet the requirements of the different levels of government. The project also includes the study of power line variants associated with the project. T2 Environnement is working in collaboration with EnviroCree and Blumetric for this mandate with the aim of offering a full range of environmental services and maximizing local benefits.
T² Environnement’s mandate consists of documenting the biological environment with a view to producing the impact study. The following inventories were thus carried out by the team: flora (particularly species with a precarious status and invasive exotic plant species); wetlands and terrestrial ecosystems, shorelines, coastlines and fish habitat (power line only); micromammals; beaver; large wildlife; bats; sparrows; birds of prey and waterfowl.
Sectoral reports were written and targeted recommendations were subsequently developed based on the biophysical characteristics and infrastructure already in place in the study area.
