Iqaluit planning for Chidliak Mine
Iqaluit planning for Chidliak MineJust to help people understand the level of support Peregrine and the Chidliak Project have here in Nunavut and specifically Iqaluit.
The city of Iqaluit is already taking into consideration the possibility of a diamond mine just outside of town into their future planning.

Also our newest Premier the Honourable Peter Taptuna is very pro mining and has said many times that it is the most realistic way to provide jobs on a large scale to Nunavummiut (residents of Nunavut).
"Economic development has to come from exploration and mining." - Peter Taptuna
