There are still more answers to come for First Nations involved. They are concerned about water quality and hunting sustainability. The traditional knowledge study was late coming in from the Band office so the locals also wanted it to be acknowledged before they give their blessing. Minor concerns for a resource that contains 1 million ounces of gold as a secondary product.

From a recent CBC article:

Upbeat during public hearings for Fortune Minerals Ltd.'s NICO gold-cobalt-bismuth-copper project were Tlicho leaders Chief Clifford Daniels, left, Chief Edward Chocolate, Grand Chief Edward Erasmus, Chief Charlie Football, and Chief Alfonz Nitsiza. The mining project is the first to be located in Tlicho territory. - Thandiwe Vela/NNSL photo

There will be two more hearings in October, and initial results are positive!
