"We look forward to implementing the components of the MOU which will provide sustainable economic benefits to the Wilp Luxxhon people and will support further development of the Kitsault Mine Project."
Terms of the MOU include:
- Provision of certain road maintenance contracts to Wilp Luxxhon contracting services.

A federal environmental assessment decision is expected in the near future.
