Canadian North Resources Strengthens the Community Engagement and Consultation for Exploration and Development of the Ferguson Lake Project

 

 

 

 

 

Canadian North Resources Inc. (TSX-V: CNRI) (OTCQX: CNRSF) (FSE: EO0) is pleased to announce that following the signing of a Community Engagement Support Program agreement with the Government of Nunavut, represented by the Minister of the Department of Economic Development & Transportation, the Company has strengthened its community engagement and consultation, with a focus on the communities of Baker Lake and Arviat, in the Kivalliq Region of Nunavut.

 

With support from the CESP, the Company’s representatives and its community consultation partners met with the Honorable Kevin Iksiktaaryuk, Mayor of the hamlet of Baker Lake, and presented an update on the Ferguson Lake Ni-Cu-Co-PGE project to the hamlet’s council. The team met with the Kivalliq Inuit Association at Baker Lake and also travelled to Arviat to present the project to the hamlet office and community members.

 

Furthermore, the Company hosted a site visit with elders and members of the Baker Lake community who have ancestral ties to the Ferguson Lake area. A site and on-the-land visit was hosted for seven individuals from Baker Lake who have a historical connection to the region. The visit included unrestricted access to the exploration camp, and a helicopter and land sightseeing tour with elders, who could visit areas of personal importance and share information useful for project development and environmental studies.

 

Dr. Kaihui Yang, the Company’s President and CEO, emphasized the strategic value of a successful Community Engagement and Consultation Program, “Carrying out this program has reinforced the strong community support for the exploration and potential mine development of the Ferguson Lake Project. Strengthening our relationships with the communities and deepening our understanding of historically significant areas will be key to responsible resource development in the region.”
