MAP SELECTION VIRTUAL EVENT

April 7, 2021
3:00 PM

In January 2021, Crown-Indigenous Relations & Northern Affairs Canada introduced Map Selection, which modernized the way that mineral claims are acquired on Crown lands in Nunavut. This change allows holders of a licence to prospect to acquire and manage their mining rights using a web-based system. This has been a process that has been in development for many years. This session will feature invited speakers that will:

• Provide an overview of the new system

• A perspective on why this change was important and the benefits

• The impact of these changes on companies, the environment and the industry.

• Speakers include:

  • Tracey McCaie - Manager, Lands Administration, CIRNAC

  • David Willis, Environment and Permitting Coordinator, deBeers

  • John Tugak, Prospector

  • Moderator: Bernie MacIsaac

SOCIAL CONFIDENCE IN NUNAVUT EVENT

POSTPONED

There is an important conversation taking place in Nunavut right now around social confidence. Part of building social confidence is ensuring the conversations on impacts and opportunities include the right people in the right place. At this point, the Nunavut Mining Symposium Society felt it was best to postpone our planned event so not to distract from the conversation. We look forward to continuing with this topic when the time is right.
