Summary of Wasamac Task Force meeting, March 23, 2022

The discussion originally planned concerning a new version of the Property Value Maintenance Program (PVMP) had been postponed to the April meeting. The local team finished its revision of the document, but the corporate team had asked for more time to do additional validations. The meeting therefore focused more on a progress report, the 2021 exploration program report, highlights of the 2021 Task Force report, creation of the 2022 calendar, and an exploratory exercise to inform the drafting of the forthcoming Property Integrity Protection Program.

Yamana's presentation at the beginning of the meeting reiterated the invitation to the official opening of the community relations office. The office will be open Tuesdays to Thursdays from 9 AM to 5 PM and Mondays and Fridays by appointment. The office is located at 14 d'Évain, inside the former Desjardins branch.

Yamana also presented its community support program, for which applications can be submitted using the form that was recently posted online at https://www.wasamac-consultations.com/policies-and-community-support-program

A summary of the findings of Yamana's 2021 exploration program was presented, as well as the annual update of the Owner’s Agreement Guide. As required by the guide, a satisfaction survey was conducted with property owners who had drilling-related activities done on their land in 2021. A memo summarizing the highlights of the survey was also handed out to members.

The presentation document, attached herein, also contained the highlights of the Task Force’s annual report. This exercise evaluates the group's mandate; the meeting format; the degree of satisfaction with the facilitation; and areas marked for improvement.
