A new partnership between the Tahltan and Nisga’a Nations will optimize their participation in the development of Seabridge Gold’s KSM project.
Located roughly 65 kms northwest of Stewart, the KSM project is a proposed gold, silver and molybdenum mine with an estimated 88.3 million ounces of gold resources.
Under the newly established Treaty Creek Limited Partnership, both Nations will play an equal role in developing the project.
It gets its namesake from a territorial agreement settled by the two Nations at Treaty Creek in 1898.
Through the partnership, both Nations will maximize their economic, training, and employment opportunities in relation to the project.
But it’s just the latest in a long line of allegiances between the pair, most recently confirmed in a Memorandum of Understanding reached in 2016.
That agreement was re-affirmed at Hobiyee in the Nisga’a Village of Gingolx in 2019.
