Support During Forest Fires Recognized
The Mining Chamber of the Canadian provinces Northwest Territories and Nunavut recently presented Gold Terra Resource (TSX.V: YGT, FSE: TX0, WKN: A2P0BS) with the Mining and Exploration (MAX) Award for Environment, Social and Governance for the year 2023. The award was presented on November 16 at a banquet during the annual Yellowknife Geoscience Forum.
With this award, the Mining Chamber recognizes Gold Terra Resource’s commitment to environmental conservation, sustainability in mining, and social aspects. The collaboration with local communities near the city of Yellowknife was classified as exemplary.
Here, Gold Terra Resource is searching for high-grade gold in a district-scale project while striving to minimize the impact of mining on the natural environment by utilizing existing historical mine infrastructure.
Support During the Terrible Forest Fires is Recognized
Along with Gold Terra Resource, four other companies were honored with the award by the Mining Chamber, including the diamond mines Ekati, Diavik, and Gahcho Kué, as well as Pine Point Mining. Like Gold Terra Resource, they were recognized for their fearless and significant contributions to supporting emergency measures during the unprecedented forest fire disaster in the Northwest Territories.
As the fires raged and threatened residents, the five awarded companies ensured that the fires could be successfully fought and the supply of food and necessary goods to communities remained secure through substantial monetary donations to aid organizations and by sending employees to support firefighting efforts.
