    Nunavut exploration heats up in 2021

    Rose Ragsdale, For Data Mine North|Updated Feb 10, 2022

    Mineral exploration activity in Nunavut intensified in 2021 as mining companies mounted larger and more extensive programs in response to stronger capital markets, government infrastructure initiatives, and the easing of restrictions imposed to curb effects of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Spanning 2 million square kilometers (about 782,000 square miles), the territory has 25 communities and about 39,353 residents, of whom 84% are Inuit. Nunavut has no roads, and all but one...

    Explorers aim to resume gold hunt in 2019

    Rose Ragsdale, For Mining News|Updated Sep 25, 2020

    With the startup of two new gold mining operations scheduled for the first half of this year and recent regulatory approvals for development of at least three other gold deposits in the territory, there's little question that Nunavut is coming into its own as a gold mining center in Canada. Nearly one and one-half times the size of Alaska, the northern jurisdiction has seen little gold production since it was separated from Northwestern Territories 20 years ago. But as...

  • Nunavut takes stock in 20th year

    Rose Ragsdale, For Mining Explorers|Updated Aug 14, 2020

    Twenty years ago, Canada created the territory of Nunavut, carving out the easternmost part of the Northwest Territories to form the country's northernmost jurisdiction. A vast land of lakes and tundra sprawled across the North from the Hudson Bay to the Arctic Ocean and east to Baffin Bay and the coastal waters of Greenland, Nunavut is home to only about 38,000 people, of whom 85 percent are indigenous Inuit who have lived in this frozen land for millennia. Since 1999,...

    Canada is the world's top destination for mining exploration spending, attracting more than 14 percent of global budgeted expenditures from explorers seeking to tap the country's vast mineral wealth. Yet in 2017, the three huge mineral-rich territories to the north, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory, lured only about C$360 million, or less than one-fifth of the roughly $2.1 billion that junior and senior mining companies invested in mineral exploration and dep...
