CEO David Paul Achneepineskum said, "With this opportunity, First Nations
can begin the steps to build their small business sector and take advantage
of large scale projects that seek to operate in their communities." Nibinamik
First Nation Chief Johnny Yellowhead also remarked, "We know that on our
traditional lands, opportunities for business will be abound which is why our
people must be ready."

On January 18, 2017, the World Economic Forum released a
White Paper entitled "Digital Transformation Initiative Mining and Metals Industry" which will have implications for the Matawa region. The White Paper said:

" Within the mining and metals industry, digitalization
will be a force that changes the nature of companies and
their interaction with employees, communities, government and the environment at every step of the value
chain. From mineral exploration and valuation, through
mining, ore processing and metals production, to downstream sales and distribution, digitalization is blurring
traditional industry lines and challenging the business
models of the past."
