WanipigowSAND PROJECT

2 3

What will our operation look like?We will operate year-round with a world-class, totally enclosed processing plant. Sand will be quarried, brought to the plant for washing, drying, and screening into various sizes and then transported to market. No water will be discharged into settling ponds. Dust collection will occur in the buildings housing the equipment used to process the sand.

How long will you operate?It is anticipated that quarrying activities will occupy approximately 5 hectares per year. A rolling restoration program will reclaim the property mined the year before. Restoration efforts will be overseen by an Operational Oversight Committee made up of community members. The operation will continue to provide jobs for more than 50 years.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSIn 2014 Claim Post Resources Inc., a publicly held Canadian company, began the process of developing a silica sand operation on Crown Land in the area between the communities of Hollow Water, Manigotagan, and Seymourville.

In 2015, efforts paused as the board restructured the company, brought in expert management personnel and work began again mid-2018. Conversations restarted with the surrounding communities and the collaboration created a new updated, detailed plan for the project.

On November 15, 2018, Claim Post Resources Inc. officially changed its name to Canadian Premium Sand Inc. and the project renamed Wanipigow Sand.

Plans are underway to submit all the needed requirements for Environmental Licensing and to start the formal Consultation Process before the end of the year. Hiring and workforce development training will begin in early 2019. Community leaders from Hollow Water, Seymourville, and Manigotagan have been in discussions with the company since July 2018. The shared vision and combined desires of the communities is to employ a local workforce and extract silica sand before the end of 2019.

Will we be fracking?No. There are no oil and gas plays in this region. This will strictly be a silica sand quarrying operation, not a fracking operation. We are quarrying silica sand which is near the surface, above the bedrock. This sand can be used in many different markets, one of which is fracking operations. The sand quarry on nearby Black Island sold a portion of its sand for fracking while most of it went to make glass during its 75 years of operation.

What will it be used for?What will we produce? We will quarry Industrial Silica Sand, which is a high-purity quartz sand with extremely durable and very round, uniform grains.Industrial Silica Sand is high purity silica sand produced with closely controlled size specifications. It is a higher quality product than the sand used in concrete and construction materials. Silica (SiO2) is a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen. Silica is very hard, chemically inert, and has a high melting point, due to the strength of the bonds between the atoms. These are prized qualities in applications like foundries and filtration systems. Silica sand’s strength and non-reactive properties make it an indispensable ingredient in the production of thousands of everyday products.

Truck Traffic CPS will construct a 6-km paved access road and will pave the Hollow Water Road to HWY 304 where pavement begins. Discussions are underway to fund highway improvements on HWY 304 to HWY 59.

It is anticipated that when in operation 3 to 5 trucks per hour will transport sand to Winnipeg where a transload facility will load the sand into rail cars.

Will this plant affect our water? No. This silica sand deposit sits on top of granite bedrock, more than 10 meters above the level of the lake at its highest historic level. There will be no impact on local sand beaches, the local water table, or community wells.

• Sand is processed with water that is completely recycled—no settling ponds will be used

• We will not use any toxic chemicals, nor acids, in the processing

• Well water will be used to replenish water which evaporates during the drying process

• No water will come from Lake Winnipeg• No water will be discharged into Lake Winnipeg

How will we restore the land? We will quarry approximately 5 hectares per year while preparing the next 5 hectares for quarrying the following year. When production begins the second year, we will restore the land quarried the first year, and so on. We will replace the topsoil and plant two-year old saplings and native plants to bring the land back to its state before quarrying. CPS is committed to ensuring a minimal footprint during quarrying and will work with Conservation to ensure the habitat is cultivated for wildlife. Restoration efforts will be overseen by an Operational Oversight Committee made up of community members. Based on their feedback and input, CPS may partner with community efforts to restore the land for possible agriculture production such as berries, wild rice, traditional medicines and vegetable production that can create additional income streams and more jobs for local businesses.

Our Guiding Principles As Natural Resource Providers we have a deep respect and love of the land. We believe this 50+ year project represents a very short-term use of the land. Therefore, we will take great care to be wise stewards and develop the next use with our efforts. By following our values and living their guidance, we will make decisions in the long-term best interest of everyone and position CPS to better live in harmony with our Wanipigow communities—and all those who care about traditional lands.

Our Commitment WORKFORCE Fair compensation, training and continuing mentorship

COMMUNITY Ongoing engagement for the life of the operation

LAND Wise next-use and using high environmental standards

PARTNERS Success for local partners and suppliers for mutual prosperity and benefit

Workforce Development Priorities • Job Fairs and Community Workforce Inventories

in Early 2019• Job Mentoring Programs• Ongoing Coaching and Training• Worker Wellness Programs

What does our workforce look like? We want to hire you. Our workforce is this community and we are committed to providing the resources necessary to help develop a multi-generational workforce.

What are our work practices? Responsible work practices and strict production guidelines protect both employees and the local community. The processing plant will be the most technologically advanced of its kind, it will be totally enclosed and will use the most advanced safety equipment. There will be no use of chemicals to clean the sand and all of the cleaned silica sand will be enclosed and dust controlled. Dust will be collected through a baghouse vacuum system and returned to the earth in the reclamation process.

What kinds of jobs will we offer?• General Labor

• Heavy Equipment Operation

• Process Equipment Operation

• Land Clearing

• Road Building

• Land Restoration

• Maintenance

• Mechanics

• Welders

• Electricians

• Fabricators

• Administrative

• Environment, Safety & Health Professionals

• IT Professionals

• Logistics Professionals

How will we promote wellness? We will establish a clinic that all employees will have access to for physical and mental health treatment, as well as addiction treatment and counseling.

When will we start hiring? At the start of 2019 we will begin to process resumes and match training opportunities to prospective job candidates. We will be hiring throughout the year in the construction and development phase to fully staff the operation by November 2019 when production begins.

Where will workers live? CPS understands that there is a lack of available, affordable housing and is working with local communities to provide solutions.

Will we do training locally or will you have to go to Winnipeg? CPS is working to provide training and support locally. Training opportunities will begin early in 2019.

How many jobs will we offer? 150 direct jobs and more including those non-CPS jobs required in other local businesses supporting the CPS operation.

How is the community involved? We’re all in this together. We seek and respect the input of community members and are proud to work with these three committees to help ensure the success of this project for everyone involved.

ELDERS COMMITTEE All Wanipigow Elders are invited to provide strategic guidance. During our first year we will be meeting monthly and when in production we will meet no less than twice per year. By November 20, 2018, CPS had four formal meetings with the Elders.

OPERATIONAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE This committee will be made up of members from the Wanipigow communities to provide tactical guidance and review third-party compliance data, quarry plans, and restoration activities, and conduct annual investigations of areas to be disturbed in the coming year. This committee will meet formally for the first time in early 2019.

BUSINESS STRATEGY COMMITTEE & ADVISORY BOARD Business leaders and professionals will serve to provide guidance regarding developing business plans, forming business and partnering relationships, and potential joint venture opportunities with CPS. This committee will meet formally for the first time in early 2019.
