Canada Nickel says a new agreement signed with three northern Ontario First Nations “represents a significant step forward.”
The agreement on the Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project was signed on Monday by three members of the Wabun Tribal Council: Mattagami, Matachewan and Flying Post First Nations.
The project, located 42 kilometres north of Timmins, will provide nickel for the electric vehicle and stainless-steel markets.
“The agreement sets the framework for early business and employment opportunities, while the parties continue to work towards a comprehensive impact benefits agreement (IBA),” the mining company said in a news release.
