The Gwich’in Tribal Council (GTC) recognizes the potential of mineral exploration and mining activities as a possible avenue for future economic and social development for the Gwich’in people. This includes the generation of revenue, employment opportunities, training, and business and investment opportunities. As such, the GTC aims to promote mineral exploration and mining development within the Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA).

Few people realize just how important mining is in our civilization, but just about everything around us comes from minerals or was built using tools made from minerals. Many of the things we need to live, and most of those that make life more comfortable, depend directly or indirectly on minerals taken from the earth. Food and water supply, shelter, clothing, health aids, transportation and communication, and a wide variety of products that we use every day all depend on the mining industry.
