Learning Together While Building
Trusted Relationships
Ambler Metals Hosts Doyon Region Tribal Chiefs and NANA
Region Tribal Presidents
August 12, 2022
– Anchorage, Alaska – As part of
exploration efforts to develop its sizable holdings in the Ambler
Mining District in Alaska, Ambler
Metals is investing in one of its most important partnerships; the
surrounding communities of the Arctic and Bornite project sites.
Recently Ambler hosted a site visit for Chiefs from the Doyon
region and NANA region tribal leadership.
The site visit provided an excellent opportunity for open
dialogue and fostered important discussions related to the
project's positive impact throughout local economies. Tribal
leaders were able to experience first-hand a wide variety of work
that is being conducted by shareholders and expand their
understanding of the long-term benefits of workforce development
spanning exploration, construction, operations, reclamation, and
closure.
"One of our core values is respect – for people, the land, the
culture and the environment," says Ramzi
Fawaz, President and CEO, Ambler Metals.
"There is no better way to learn from one another than to spend
time in conversation, listening, gaining knowledge from the
long-time stewards of the land, and working together toward common
goals."
The tribal leaders held a private roundtable discussion in
conjunction with the site visit. Their future engagement and input
will help significantly shape the project so that the land and
people of the region can continue to thrive in traditional ways,
while bringing new economic opportunities to the area. The project
has the potential to provide hundreds of jobs throughout its
lifetime, lower transportation costs of fuel and other supplies,
and fund essential government services in a remote region of the
Arctic.
"One of the main economic pillars of our region's economy is
based around responsible resource development," says Ely Cyrus, President of the Kiana tribe.
"As President of the tribe in Kiana, I feel it is important to work together
as tribal leaders. Conversations such as this have the potential to
inform and empower our tribes on ways to provide a path for
employment for our people and is a forum for our voices to be heard
on the importance of subsistence resources and lands," adds
Cyrus.
"There are tremendously positive takeaways from this site visit,
and I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the tribal
Chiefs and Presidents from both regions for sharing their expertise
and expanding our relationships," says Fawaz.
From the Doyon region: Chief Harding Sam – Alatna; Chief
Lawrence Williams – Allakaket; and Chief Wilmer Beetus – Hughes.
From the NANA region: President Miles
Cleveland – Ambler; Gena
Linus (council member) – Kobuk; President Fred
Sun – Shungnak; President
Ely Cyrus – Kiana; and Linda
Lee – Shungnak.
