TDG Gold Corp. is proud to have the opportunity to undertake mineral exploration in the traditional territories of the Tahltan, Kwadacha, Tsay Keh Dene and Takla First Nations.
TDG views itself as a co-steward of the land and we look forward to engaging in early, active and respectful dialogue with representatives of each community.
TDG commits to working with Indigenous communities to:
✔ Recognise
Recognise the diversity of cultures, histories, stories, values and beliefs within Indigenous communities.
✔ Collaborate
Collaborate on healthy ecosystems and incorporate Indigenous ecological knowledge in mitigation measures, reclamation prescriptions and exploration activities where possible.
✔ Respect
Foster and maintain transparent, open and respectful relationships and communication with Indigenous communities.
✔ Strive
Strive for minimal ecological disturbance so as to not adversely impact traditional access to use of the land.
✔ Build Capacity
Develop Indigenous capacity building and training opportunities, professional development strategies and employment positions for Indigenous individuals where available.
✔ Create Awareness
Ensure all employees, contractors and those involved with TDG projects have taken cultural awareness training related to Indigenous activities, cultures, histories, and the spiritual connection to their lands, flora and fauna as it relates to each project.
✔ Develop Business
Develop business relationships with Indigenous businesses and corporations.
