2024年8月6日 - 8:00PM
NexGold Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEXG) (OTCQX:
NXGCF) (the “
Company” or
“
NexGold”) and Wabigoon Lake
Ojibway Nation (“
WLON”) today announced a new
Relationship Agreement (the “
Agreement”) – a
significant step towards Reconciliation and shared success in
Canada’s mining sector. The Agreement compensates for historical
exploration activities in the traditional territories of Wabigoon
Lake Ojibway Nation and paves the way for improved First Nation
participation in the future Goliath Gold Complex (“the Project”).
Jeremy Wyeth, CEO of NexGold, stated, “NexGold
couldn’t be prouder to be embarking on this renewed relationship.
As a company, we’re honoured to operate on the traditional lands of
the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation, and we are committed to working
together meaningfully and respectfully throughout the life of the
Project and beyond. This agreement reaffirms the importance of
strong and progressive collaborations with First Nations in the
mining industry.”
Chief Clayton Wetelainen, Wabigoon Lake Ojibway
Nation said, “We are a modern First Nation focused on
sustainability and economic opportunity. As we create new business
relationships, we require new arrangements for all activities on
our lands. We must protect our rights and interests, inherent in
our original use and occupation of our traditional territory since
time immemorial.”
The new Agreement supports a jointly developed
framework for collaboration between NexGold and Wabigoon Lake
Ojibway Nation for the Goliath Gold Complex. Some of the
significant commitments within the agreement include:
- Reconciliation measures that recognize and respect the inherent
rights and Treaty and Aboriginal rights of Wabigoon Lake Ojibway
Nation;
- Capacity funding for continued engagement and consultation
activities as well as agreed methods for information sharing and
permit application reviews;
- The formation of a technical working group;
- New opportunities to maximize First Nation participation in
Project activities through education, training, and mentorship
opportunities;
- Interim benefits from Exploration and other activities at the
Project; and;
- The negotiation of a life-of-mine agreement for the Goliath
Gold Complex.
The 2024 Relationship Agreement replaces the
long-standing Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”)
that was signed between Tamaka Gold Corporation and Wabigoon Lake
Ojibway Nation in 2011.
“NexGold looks forward to pursuing new
approaches and innovative opportunities with Wabigoon Lake Ojibway
Nation to strengthen our relationship,” said Rachel Pineault, Vice
President of HR, Sustainability, NexGold. “We know that the
Nation’s unique knowledge and guidance will bring tremendous
benefits to the Goliath Gold Complex for the long term.”
