The Kuskokwim Corporation, TKC, has been involved every step of the way, in not only inviting Donlin Gold onto our land, but also in writing the permits, in environmental oversight, and really ensuring that this is the best possible project on our land to provide those opportunities for our shareholders, and so we have been very focused on this partnership between Donlin Gold and its partners, Barrick and NovaGold, Calista Corporation and the Kuskokwim Corporation, we’re all working very closely hand-in-hand.
Calista has been involved with the proposed Donlin Gold project site for over the last 45 years. Calista and leaders from the Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) Delta have worked toward and supported the effort to mine gold from the area. Our early leaders successfully fought for the right to select the land because of its rich mineral deposit. It is important to keep in mind that collaboration and planning are vital when discussing opportunities within the industry. Our families and especially our children deserve the best when making decisions that affect their lives now and well into the future.
