Connecting mining capital with Yukon First Nation economic partners

YFNCC Business Development Manager Ben Feltmate spoke at an Agentis Capital mining dinner attended by investment managers, analysts, and Yukon officials, bringing a Yukon First Nation business perspective to conversations about mining investment.

Relationships before transactions

The Chamber’s work emphasizes early engagement with the affected First Nation and stronger connections between investors, proponents, and Yukon First Nation economic partners.

Those relationships can open conversations about business capabilities, project needs, and how participation could develop over time. They also help investors and proponents understand who they need to engage and why those conversations should begin early.

More than one pathway to participation

Yukon First Nation participation can include roles as suppliers, partners, investors, and owners. Each pathway requires its own preparation, relationships, and decisions by the organizations involved.

YFNCC helps make introductions and strengthen the visibility of businesses and economic entities across the territory. The aim is to support informed engagement and opportunities that reflect Yukon First Nation priorities.
