Sustainability
Community and First Nations
New Age understands the importance of collaboration and capacity building with our neighbours. We strive to form long-lasting, mutually beneficial, cooperative and respectful relationships that benefit all parties involved in our projects.
Sudbury
The River Valley Project is situated on the traditional territory of the Temagami and Nipissing First Nations. The Company has consulted with both groups regularly to provide project updates, solicit quotations for work programs and made available requested technical data pertaining to its River Valley Project. New Age Metals has agreements in place with both Temagami and Nipissing First Nations.
Manitoba
The Company’s lithium projects lie within the traditional territories of the Sagkeeng First Nation. In October 2018, NAM signed a precedent setting exploration agreement with Sagkeeng that has facilitated transparent communication, employment opportunities and resource sector training. Through this agreement, stakeholders have benefitted – both from the protection of previously undiscovered heritage artifacts, and from the enhanced economic opportunities.
Environment
At New Age Metals we are committed to carrying out mineral exploration and development work programs to high standards of environmental stewardship. New Age takes its environmental responsibilities seriously and continuously identifies and monitors any potential environmental risks that may be present at its projects.
