The investment will fund a range of projects aimed at improving community well-being, including the development of community-use spaces, recreation facilities, and greenhouse space. A portion of the investment will also support planning and pre-development efforts to improve housing in each community.

The Red Chris Mine is an open-pit copper and gold mine that has become a key economic pillar in Tahltan territory, employing approximately 220 Tahltans and generating approximately $100 million annually in business with the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation (TNDC). In addition, the mine pays annual royalties to the Tahltan Heritage Trust and contributes mineral tax revenue to the Province of British Columbia which is shared directly with the Tahltan Nation.

The Red Chris Mine is managed in close partnership with Tahltan Nation through an Impact Benefit and Co-Management Agreement ensuring that Tahltan expertise, perspectives, and values guide the operation, and serving as a leading example of reconciliatory resource development.

Rich in the critical minerals that the world uses for electrification, emerging technologies, and to manufacture the products we use every day, Tahltan Territory and the Red Chris Mine have long been a key contributor to the British Columbia economy. Newmont looks forward to building on the legacy of the past ten years as we grow the relationship with Tahltan Nation and aspire for success together in the future.

Editor's Picks: Gold Price Breaks US$3,400, Silver Added to Draft US Critical Minerals List

The gold price was on the rise this week, breaking through US$3,400 per ounce once again.

It's been pushed higher by US dollar weakness, as well as Federal Reserve turmoil.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell to cut interest rates for months, and on Monday (August 25) the situation developed further when Trump posted a letter on his social media platform Truth Social. In it, he said he was removing Lisa Cook from her position on the central bank's board of governors due to allegations of mortgage fraud.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Trifecta Shines with 117 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada released its second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures on Friday (August 29). The data showed that the Canadian economy shrank 0.4 percent in the second quarter and declined 1.6 percent on an annualized basis. The decrease comes following first-quarter gains of 0.5 percent and a 2 percent annualized increase.

Much of the decrease was attributed to a 7.5 percent drop in exports compared to Q1. Canadian exports had risen 1.4 percent in the first three months of the year as US companies increased imports to get ahead of incoming tariffs.Excluding the lower costs at the pumps, CPI remained steady at 2.5 percent, the same increase as May and June.

Navigating Uncertainty: How Trump's Tariffs Are Affecting the Gold Market

The gold price has been on the rise in 2025 as a slew of factors work in its favor.

Central bank buying has long been a key point of support, as has escalating conflict in the Middle East and elsewhere. A newer addition is tariff tensions as the Trump administration fleshes out trade policies.
