Metallurgical Coal Projects in Alberta

Several companies are developing metallurgical coal projects in Alberta’s foothills. Metallurgical (steelmaking) coal is the most efficient way steel can be made at a commercial scale, and Alberta’s steelmaking coal is amongst the best in the world. Steelmaking coal from Alberta produces lower greenhouse gasses than any other coal, and First Nations people can share in helping produce steel for the world.

WHAT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?

Full Life Cycle of Mine Planning, Operation and Closure – Modern mining is not simply a process of mineral removal; rather it involves continuous reclamation. This means that as the mine advances from one phase to another, reclamation begins on the most recently mined land.

FIRST NATIONS COMMUNITIES HAVE ALREADY BENEFITED FROM METALLURGICAL COAL EXPLORATION

Coal companies have already formed strong relationships with First Nations communities, and all have benefited.

To: Coal Policy Committee

Dear Sir/Madam

I write you to express my support for the responsible development of metallurgical coal assets in Alberta. The projects proposed support Indigenous peoples and the goal of eliminating poverty in Indigenous communities. Indigenous people and companies will be able to attain real economic opportunities working with the coal companies on these projects.

Indigenous people are active stewards of the environment and can contribute much towards responsible coal mining developments to safeguard the health of our land, air, and water for generations to come. Modern mining techniques minimize environmental impacts, while creating meaningful economic opportunity, through Indigenous involvement.

I respectfully request that the development of an environmentally responsible metallurgical coal mining industry in Alberta be supported, administered by a strong regulatory framework that protects the traditional lands and water of our Indigenous people.

Sincerely,
