INNU-INUIT PARTNERSHIPS

NGC has been part of the Vale mining operation at Voisey’s Bay since Torngait Services Inc. became site services provider in 2005. When Vale announced the plan to move mining activity underground, NGC formed partnerships with leading Canadian and international companies involved in mine development, engineering, logistics, and construction. NGC also leveraged the strength of Innu Development Limited Partnership (IDLP) to create a strong Labrador Indigenous entity to pursue contracts at Vale.
