Junior miner and Constance Lake First Nation ink exploration agreement – Northern Ontario Business
Noble Mineral Exploration looking for industrial and precious minerals in the Hearst area
A Toronto junior mining company and Constance Lake First Nation have set up the ground rules to do exploration in the Hearst area.
Noble Mineral Exploration said in a news release that it’s signed an exploration agreement to work on two mineral lands within the community’s traditional territory.
The agreement, which involves Noble’s Nagagami and Boulder Projects, establishes a framework for consultation and accommodation with the community, but also opens the door for the First Nation to benefit from early-stage exploration work.
The company maintains Constance Lake will be given priority access for any business spinoff opportunities, employment and training, and financial compensation.
