Thanks Skellig.

325 jobs to be exact during the construction and operational phases of the project. This "soon to be" first new gold mine in the NWT in over 20 years WILL provide significant business opportunities for northern aboriginal businesses. No doubt DW attended this presentation last year to assist in that endeavor:

Working with Indigenous Peoples as Vital Partners

"For the private sector, there are three roles that they can take when developing natural resources in the vicinity of indigenous populations. These are: intruder,good neighbour or capacity builder. Companies that engage indigenous peoples early and well in the extractive process can spend more time on the business they are in, rather than fighting protracted legal battles in the courts and trying to manage asymmetric public relations catastrophes. Progressive companies take time to build relationships and spend extensive time discussing project opportunities and issues, rather than treating community investments from a purely technical and managerial point of view to end up solely with a list of community demands."
