Further geochemical, hydrogeological and radiological characterization is required in the next study phases.
Nordique’s objective is to advance Kwyjibo through structured, long-term partnerships with Innu Nations and local communities — extending beyond consultation to meaningful participation as the Project develops.
Work together as engineering advances so local knowledge, land use and community priorities can inform project planning.
Create opportunities for community participation in environmental follow-up, field programs and long-term stewardship.
Prioritize pathways for
training, employment, local
procurement and community businesses throughout development and operations.
Work toward mutually
beneficial arrangements that allow communities to
participate in the long-term
value created by the Project.
QUÉBEC PRECEDENT Recent Côte-Nord examples show that mining proponents and First Nations can use formal engagement and cooperation agreements to establish expectations early, incorporate community input and build a pathway toward longer-term social acceptance and participation.
