Mining company to provide consultation services on project to connect Kivalliq to southern energy grid
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. and Inuit-owned Nukik Corp. have agreed to work together on purchase agreements for electricity to power the proposed Kivalliq Hydro-Fibre Link once the project is complete.
The memorandum of understanding they signed Dec. 8 “marks a major commercial milestone” for the project, said Raphaëlle Audouin, CEO of Nukik Corp., the project’s proponent, in an email Tuesday.
Agnico Eagle will not be a proponent or directly fund the project but will provide consultation services, said Gabriel-Antoine Côté, the company’s manager of Nunavut public affairs, in an interview Dec. 10.
