People & Culture
Respect for the Yukon is woven into our work
We recognize that the proposed Project resides within several Traditional Territories. From the start, we’ve engaged directly with First Nations governments and citizens to understand their values, concerns, and priorities.
Ongoing Consultations + Partnerships
- Ongoing consultation with Selkirk First Nation, Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in, White River First Nation, and Kluane First Nation
- Inclusion of Traditional Knowledge (TK) in site design and review
- Direct partnerships in tailings, wildlife, and cultural protection planning
Heritage Protection
We’re committed to protecting not only the land but also the stories and history it holds. Since 2008, archaeologists have studied the Casino Project area to better understand Yukon’s past.
In 2013, the team discovered KfV1-3, one of the oldest archaeological sites in Yukon, with stone tools and cultural materials dating back nearly 13,000 years.
- The site helps researchers learn more about early human migration through Beringia.
- A Heritage Resources Protection Plan is in place to protect any culturally significant areas during construction and operations.
Community Engagement
From early exploration to environmental review, we’ve prioritized open and respectful conversations with Yukon First Nations, governments, regulators, and community members.
- Regular engagement sessions, workshops, and meetings
- Transparent updates through public postings and community events
- Quarterly Newsletters to inform Yukoners of our Project’s progress
- Decisions are shaped by feedback from Yukoners
- We are committed to ensuring the proposed Casino Project’s opportunities and benefits stay within the Yukon and last well beyond the life of the mine.
