Quentin Yarie, President and Chief Executive Officer of MacDonald Mines stated, “MacDonald Mines is committed to fostering a mutually beneficial working relationship with the MFN as we continue to advance the Wawa-Holdsworth Project. Founded on principles of trust, respect and understanding, this MOU formalizes the consultation process and enables MFN to understand the potential impacts of the development of the Project on the exercise of aboriginal and treaty rights.

It has been a pleasure to work with Chief Tangie and her representatives. The MFN has been considerate and understanding through the whole process and MacDonald Mines does not envision anything different as we move towards more intensive exploration and development considerations in the future.”
