This group of presentations offered information on Nunavik’s<br />
geological profile and potential mining opportunities; how the mining<br />
development process has developed in the past and the impact this has<br />
had on communities; and finally some of the tools available to Inuit today<br />
that regulate the mining development process in Nunavik.<br />
There were four overarching themes repeated throughout each of<br />
the five presentations:<br />
1. Inuit involvement in, and control over, mining development is<br />
essential;<br />
2. In order to achieve this objective internal capacity (among individuals<br />
as well as local and regional institutions) must be built<br />
up;<br />
3. Nunavik needs a more integrated and long-term vision for mineral<br />
development; and<br />
4. Maintaining a balance between mining development and environmental<br />
protection is necessary for sustainability in the<br />
long-term.<br />
It is clear from the first two presentations that there is considerable<br />
mining potential in the region. The mineral showings in Nunavik are<br />
diverse and vary by sub-region. New potential mining sites are being<br />
discovered all the time. For example, Ungava Bay has been identified<br />
as an emerging uranium district; and there is evidence that Rare Earth<br />
Elements—an emerging commodity used in energy and transportation<br />
technologies—are also present in the region.<br />
