    REPEAT — Independent Survey Confirms Public Support for Falco Horne 5 Project

    • March 19, 2025
    • admin

    Falco Resources Ltd. (TSX.V: FPC) (‘ Falco’ or the ‘ Company’ ) is pleased to publish the results of an independent survey of the population of Rouyn-Noranda and Abitibi-Témiscamingue conducted by Léger regarding the understanding and social acceptability of the Falco Horne 5 underground mine project (the ‘ Project’ ).

    Three out of four people support the Project

    The results show that Falco enjoys strong majority support in Rouyn-Noranda, where 72% of respondents are in favour of the Horne 5 Project, and in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, where support reaches 74%. These results demonstrate the population’s significant support for the Project, particularly given its economic spin-offs and positive impact on employment.

    Trust in Falco

    Respondents recognize the benefits the Project will bring to the region, emphasizing its key role in local and regional economic growth and job creation. Despite some concerns about environmental impacts, a strong majority of respondents (73%) are confident that Falco will work with civil society actors to ensure responsible implementation of the Project.

    A Project for the common good

    In addition, a high proportion of respondents (74%) felt that the Project should proceed for the community’s benefit, strengthening the legitimacy and social acceptability of the Falco Horne 5 Project in the region.

    Hélène Cartier, Vice-President of Environment, Sustainable Development and Community Relations, stated: ‘As demonstrated by the numerous briefs submitted to BAPE, these results confirm the population’s strong support for our Project and our commitment to act responsibly. We will continue our concerted efforts with all stakeholders to ensure a mutually beneficial development. We believe this strong support justifies our request to the Québec government to deem the project acceptable.’

    Luc Lessard, President and CEO, added: ‘These results are a testament to the broad support for the Project among Rouyn-Noranda residents, consistent with what we have been seeing for several years now. Falco has submitted to the authorities at the Québec government a mining development project that will be of great benefit to the city, the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region and all of Québec. It remains surprising, however, that after more than 8 years, the government has yet to recognize the Project’s conformity.’

    The Company will continue its discussions with the Ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs (the ‘ Ministère ‘) to have the Project’s compliance recognized and complete the environmental analysis.

    Highlights
    Favourability of the Project

    • 73% of respondents were in favor of the Project (28% very favorable, 46% somewhat favorable)
    • Only 15% are unfavorable (5% very unfavorable, 10% somewhat unfavorable).

    Main reasons for being in favor

    • 47% : Job creation
    • 26% : Positive impact on the local economy

    Main perceptions

    • 86% believe the Project will have a positive economic impact
    • 80% believe mining projects strengthen regional pride
    • 73% are confident that Falco will make its project acceptable and aligned with applicable societal and environmental expectations
    • 61% believe Falco will take public opinion into account

    The survey was conducted from February 27 to March 9, 2025, among 500 Abitibi-Témiscamingue residents aged 18 and over. The presumed margin of error is ±4.38%, 19 times out of 20. The survey can be viewed by clicking on the following link: https://bit.ly/3RfaMlZ

    The Falco Horne 5 Project features a state-of-the-art mining operation that maximizes the use and rehabilitation of previously disturbed sites such as Quemont and Norbec. The Project will generate significant economic benefits, contributing approximately $3.8 billion to Québec’s GDP, including $2.2 billion to the regional GDP, notably through the creation of 900 jobs during construction and 500 jobs during operations. By adding value to critical and strategic minerals, it will actively contribute to the energy transition and decarbonization of the economy.
