The proposed Grassy Mountain coal project in southwestern Alberta has been rejected by the federal government. The Minister's determination was based on a decision by the Joint Review Panel (JRP) on June 17, 2021, to deny the Project, and was made despite applications being filed with the Court of Appeal of Alberta on July 16 and 19, 2021. The applications challenge the JRP's decision on the grounds that it made a number of errors in law and contraventions of procedural fairness and that the JRP's report was fundamentally and fatally flawed. August 13, 2021 - Benga Mining Ltd today announced that it has applied to the Federal Court of Canada for a judicial review of decisions against the Grassy Mountain Steelmaking Coal Project by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Jonathan Wilkinson, and the Cabinet, on the grounds that those decisions were unlawful, incorrect, unreasonable and/or unconstitutional. |
