RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TCG & TAHLTAN NATION
During the 2022 season, what involvement did TCG personnel and departments have with your company? If they were not involved, why not?
We are in regular contact with Ann Ball in the Employment & Business Department for the Tahltan Central Government (TCG). Ann informs the company on potential Tahltan contractors available to assist Tudor Gold in meeting its goals to conduct business with Tahltans and advance Treaty Creek.
In 2022, how many Tahltans did you employ? What positions did they hold in your company and what percentage of Tahltans did you employ compared to others?
Through multiple contractors we estimate there are approximately 30 First Nations employees working on site at various times holding many different positions during the drill season. These positions include camp managers, equipment operators, camp cooks and helpers, camp carpenters, drill pad builders, and core cutters. In 2022 Tudor Gold’s contractors estimated approximately 10 Tahltans were working with them. We believe the number of Tahltans members working at Treaty Creek was similar in 2022 compared to 2021, however we mainly depend on our contractors, many of whom are also Tahltan members, to vet their employees.
What employment opportunities, now and in the future, are available to Tahltan members?
Tudor Gold directly employs geologists, geotechnical technicians, heavy equipment operators, first aid attendants, and mechanics. These positions are available to applicants from all backgrounds and hiring is based on the availability of the position and the skill of the applicant.
Why should Tahltan members want to work for you?
We strongly value our employees and consistently prioritize maintaining a safe working environment. Tudor Gold can provide Tahltan members with on-the- job training and practical work experience to enhance career advancement within the resource industry or in other lines of work. Furthermore, we provide high paying and competitive wages.


Did you have any Tahltan contractors working for your company?
Yes. Tahltan Hy-Teck Drilling, Brewery Creek Mining Services Ltd., Tahltan ERM Environmental Management, Klee Cho Aviation (helicopter services), Northern Labour Services (geotechnical, first aid, and field assistants, including Marge Fraser).
Do you have any outside contractors working for you? If so, who are they? Who were the primary contractors you utilized? Do they offer employment opportunities to Tahltan members?
Yes. MSA Labs; SPS Mining Supplies; Treaty Vanguard Ventures Ltd.; Bandstra Transportation Systems Ltd.; Raine Mountain Hardware; Jade First Aid and Safety; Blue Bear Exploration Ltd.; Bob’s Mercantile Ltd.; Outrider Contracting Ltd.; Greig & Associates Geologists, Soucie Construction Ltd.
Anything else you would like to share with the Tahltan Nation?
