Why Prairie Creek will get it's LUP in June:-Caroline Wawzonek, Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment “The mining sector is critical to the NWT economy, supporting well-paying jobs throughout the Territory. The Government of Canada, through the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency (CanNor) is supporting this program in order to advance mine projects – a key part in growing NWT’s strong resource industry. Our government is making a strategic investment to help northern prospectors and exploration companies capitalize on responsible resource development opportunities.”
-Daniel Vandal, Minister of Northern Affairs, Minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development Canada and Minister responsible for the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency
“Strategic investment for NWT mining through proven initiatives such as the Mining Incentive Program creates jobs, promotes innovation and prolongs the viability of an economic sector critical to the success of our territory. I am encouraged by the latest round of successful applicants in this program, and the support these funds will provide to foster exploration methods.”
