SOCIO-ECONOMIC PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT
In July 2005, Yukon Zinc completed a socio-economic participation agreement (SEPA) with the Ross River Dena Council on behalf of the Kaska its bands and their respective members. The agreement addresses the concerns within Kaska traditional territory where the Wolverine deposit is located in and provides for their participation in the economic and social benefits of the development and operation of Wolverine as a mine. Their support is greatly appreciated and Yukon Zinc looks forward to working with them to maximize benefits to their members and our shareholders. |
