Kind to Animals

The company has demonstrated a pattern of non-compliance and willful disobedience regarding caribou protection measures at its Nunavut mine sites. In 2020, its non-compliance affected approximately 22,000 caribou, representing 40% of migrating caribou, and non-essential traffic used a haul road for 82 days during a 92-day closure period.

A federal investigation concluded the company's actions amounted to "non-compliance and willful disobedience." A federal order was issued in May 2023 for repeated failures over the past decade and a half to implement protection measures and accurately report activities. The company also unilaterally revised caribou protection guidelines, significantly increasing sighting thresholds (e.g., from 12 to 75 for spring caribou), a move disputed by stakeholders and criticized by the Nunavut Department of Environment for lacking proper consultation and having significant data deficiencies. The company refused to revise its data analysis. These actions indicate a direct negative impact on wildlife habitats and an active effort to weaken existing animal welfare protections.
