Yellowknife — July 7, 2022
Northern leaders, working as the Intergovernmental Council (IGC), are working to identify and draft the regulations needed to bring the Northwest Territories’ (NWT) first Mineral Resources Act (MRA) into force by 2023.
Through the department of Industry, Tourism and Investment (ITI), the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) is working with leaders, stakeholders and organizations most involved and impacted by mining in the NWT to identify, research, and develop all of the regulations that will be required by the new Act.
Individuals or organizations wishing to contribute to this legislative initiative are encouraged to visit the GNWT’s Have Your Say public engagement portal.
