Northisle
discusses
mine plans
By Kathy O’Reilly
Northisle Copper & Gold is targeting
a decision on whether to proceed with a
mine in 2026.
If the decision is yes, building the
mine would take about two and half
years and about 1,000 construction
workers. Once open the mine would
employ 500 people, said Nicholas Van
Dyk, Northisle chief financial offi-
cer, at the Regional District of Mount
Waddington Board of Directors meet -
ing Jan. 18. Van Dyk was joined by
Michelle Tanguay, Northisle’s head of
sustainability and community relations.
Appearing as a delegation, Northisle
first gave the board an overview of their
exploration project and expressed their
desire to establish strong relationships
with rights holders associated with the
mineral tenure where they are propos -
ing a project. Northisle Copper & Gold
“has been in the region since 2010” and
has been conducting mineral explora -
tion in varying degrees over the years
authorized under the Mines Act Notice
of Work process, Tanguay said.
“The project itself is northeast of Hol-
berg considerably west of the old Island
Copper project area,” she said.
