“Sustainable and inclusive mineral development – working to ensure that local Indigenous communities have the capacity and opportunity to participate equitably in both new and established mining projects, here in Canada and around the world.” Our VP Indigenous Enterprises, Glenn Nolan, was the keynote speaker at this year’s CCMEC (Central Canada Mineral Exploration Convention) 2024, where he discussed the importance of building respectful and meaningful partnerships with First Nation communities. Drawing on his years of experience growing up at a gold mine, working in mining exploration and serving as Chief of the Missanabie Cree First Nation, Glenn shared insights in fostering successful partnerships between Indigenous communities and the mineral industry. At Wyloo, he continues to champion for sustainable and inclusive mineral development to bring community-centered, forward-thinking perspectives to drive long-term economic growth. “It’s about building capacity to create a future for communities and regions that goes beyond just resource development.” – GLENN Nolan

Today, on Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve their country during times of war, conflict and peace. In Canada, we also recognise National Indigenous Veterans Day on November 8, honouring the military service and sacrifices made by First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples. Our memories will honour the Fallen and recognize the sacrifices of all who serve. Lest we forget.

LiDAR: Driving Project Development with the Latest Technology 🛰 As we develop the Eagle’s Nest Project, accurate and timely data will be key to our success – and leveraging the latest technology will support our progress every step of the way. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is one of the tools we are using to capture images to generate exact topographical maps with precise detail and accuracy. The LiDAR scanner allows us to document the changing landscape over time, understand drainage and water movement, and plan earthworks efficiently throughout the development cycle. Exploration ready 🔍: Before we begin any exploration activity, we also use LiDAR technology to assess the area. Using a drone, we can fly a high-resolution orthoimage (a detailed and accurate aerial photo of the area), and strategically plan geophysics grids – minimizing line cutting and maximizing data accuracy. With this in-house equipment, we can perform surveys at any time, delivering quick and accurate results (though let’s be honest, our crew just loves flying the drone). 🛸 📸 LiDAR technology in action: using the elevation profile tool with LiDAR point clouds; high-resolution orthoimage of Esker Site; our drone in action.

Last night Martin Staples, our VP Technical Services, attended the Canadian Australian Chamber of Commerce (CACC) reception welcoming the Canadian Mining Delegation to Perth, providing an excellent opportunity to get to know the visiting members of Canada’s mining industry. “Wyloo has a foot in both camps; Canada and Australia, so it was good to meet and connect with peers, colleagues and potential collaborators. As we develop our projects in northern Canada, comparing notes with others doing the same is valuable, as is contrasting that with our projects in Western Australia. “Our two countries share many similarities, both technically and socially, and we also both have long, successful mining histories rich in innovation. Last night offered an excellent opportunity to discuss our approaches as we collectively look to ensure the sustainable future of our industry,” said Martin. 📷 Martin is pictured with Kaihui Yang, President and CEO of Canadian North Resources.

It's Treaties Recognition Week in Ontario – an annual event to honour the importance of treaties, learn more about treaty rights and relationships and foster awareness between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.🤝 🔶 More than 40 treaties cover the province of Ontario. As we work and live here, we recognize that we must learn about the rich history of the land to better understand our role as residents, neighbours, partners and caretakers.  We acknowledge that our Toronto office is located on the territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.   We acknowledge our Thunder Bay office is located on the traditional land of the Anishnawbe people and is where they and many other peoples have gathered for time immemorial. This sacred place, originally known as Anemki Wequedong, is now also the Treaty Territory of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson-Superior Treaty in 1850.    And we acknowledge that Esker Site / Eagle's Nest Project is on the traditional territory of the Anishnawbe people of Marten Falls First Nation and neighbours Webequie First Nation, both signatories to Treaty 9.   🔶 Find out more: An interactive map on the Government of Ontario’s website to search for and learn about the treaties that cover where you live and find reserves in Ontario ➡ https://buff.ly/2KlH4bB 🔶 Listen to Elders and Knowledge Keepers on the importance of treaties, treaty relationships and treaty rights in Ontario ➡ https://buff.ly/2D4gaDJ

By entering into a MOU with Metalshub we hope to work together to set a new global standard for sustainably produced nickel products and enable greater transparency of low carbon nickel pricing. Wyloo intends to use Metalshub for the sale of its low-carbon nickel and nickel concentrate products following a re-start of its Kambalda, Western Australia nickel operations.

These two former Lakehead University alumni took centre stage during this week's lunch’n’learn session, "Indigenous-led Overview: Unlocking the Potential of the Ring of Fire". Alongside @Michael Fox (CEO of Indigenous Community Engagement (ICE) and Project Lead for the Webequie Supply Road), our Community Relations Coordinator Clyde Moonias discussed some of the ways we are partnering with First Nation communities as we progress development in the Ring of Fire. 🤝 Thanks to everyone who joined the session at The University Centre! 🌟 #IndigenousLeadership

In September, we completed an archaeological field study program, building on a previous assessment of the Eagle’s Nest Project and the surrounding terrain. While the area directly within the Eagle’s Nest footprint is considered low potential for archaeological resources, areas outside of the Project have been identified for further study. 🔎 This fieldwork aims to deepen our understanding of the land from an archaeological lens and to ensure we respect potential areas of cultural significance. Led by Ryan Primrose and the team at Woodland Heritage Northwest we collaborated with members of our partner Indigenous communities in carrying out this work, digging small test pits and sifting the soil for potential artifacts. ⛏️ Great job, team!
