On August 10, 2021, Łı́ı́dlı̨ı̨ Kų́ę́ First Nation (LKFN) and NorZinc Ltd. (NZC) signed two Impact Benefit Agreements related to NZC’s proposed Prairie Creek Mine and All-Season Road.
These agreements were negotiated over several years and ensure LKFN and LKFN’s community members will benefit from the project. The agreements include:
- Roads Benefits Agreement (RBA): this agreement provides LKFN with compensation and benefits for the new road being built to the Mine.
- Letter of Agreement (LOA): this agreement updates a 2011 Agreement for compensation and community benefits for the Mine.
LKFN and NZC remain in negotiations together and with Naha Dehe Dene Band in the development of a third agreement – the Environmental Cooperation Agreement (ECA) – focused on environmental protection and oversight of the project.
