Some people said there are hundreds of local jobs at stake with any mine closure by VGCX.  The FNNND chief has said mining might not be permitted on their lands after the spills. The cooperative agreement with VGCX was negotiated and signed in 2011.

Case in point: Debeers had operated the Victor Diamond mine in Ontario for a decade, built at a cost of $1 billion. They spent $3 million per year maintaining the ice road. They employed 500 locals - half from the First Nations.

No deal. The Victor Mine was forced to be dismantled and the lands reclaimed. The FN complained they were ripped off and exploited and not getting their share of the revenue.
