Hope Bay, Nunavut
Hope Bay's Doris Camp officials invited board members from the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) to learn more about the operation, its environmental management systems and Newmont's approach to community engagement.
The KIA is an aboriginal organization supporting the social, cultural and economic wellbeing of approximately 5,000 Inuit in western Nunavut. It also administers surface access to 103,000 square kilometers (64,000 square miles) of Inuit-owned land, including much of the land associated with the Hope Bay project.Hope Bay entered into numerous agreements with the KIA, including surface leases by which access is granted for gold exploration purposes. It also conducts environmental assessments on behalf of its members. Hope Bay also will negotiate a socio-economic agreement, called the Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement, with the KIA prior to beginning production.
"Our continued efforts to develop the Hope Bay project are assured through the positive and constructive relationship we enjoy with the KIA," said Alex Buchan, external relations manager for the project.
