  • Nanisivik – Canada’S First High Arctic Mine
    INUIT ENCOUNTERS WITH COLONIAL CAPITAL: NANISIVIK – CANADA’S FIRST HIGH ARCTIC MINE by Tee Wern Lim B.Com. (Hons)., The University of Otago, 2006 B.A., The University of Otago, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2013 © Tee Wern Lim, 2013 Abstract Mineral development has a long history of occurring in the territory of Indigenous communities. In Canada’s North, mineral exploration and mine development has become the most significant economic development strategy for Nunavut, with unprecedented levels of investment taking place today. However, broader and long-term implications of mineral development, and relevant historical experiences, are not well understood or documented. This thesis investigates a historically significant case: Canada’s first high Arctic mine, the Nanisivik lead-zinc mine, which operated near the Inuit community of Arctic Bay from 1976- 2002. Across two papers, this thesis focuses on the mine’s development in the early 1970s, and closure in the 2000s. Through a Marxian analysis utilizing the constructs of primitive accumulation and modes of production, chapter 2 outlines non-renewable resource-based industrial capitalism (exemplified by Nanisivik) as a distinct and severe structure of dispossession. This is contrasted with prior periods of similarly colonial but merchant capitalist resource extraction, namely whaling and the fur trade. I explain how the State and capital combined to impose capitalist relations of production on a predominantly noncapitalist Inuit social formation. Aspects of structural resistance to this imposition are also discussed.

  • Royal Gold to Acquire Barrick Gold's Royalty Portfolio 7/31/2008 7:20:00 AM DENVER, July 31 /Prnewswire-Firstcall/ -- ROYAL GOLD, INC
    Royal Gold to Acquire Barrick Gold's Royalty Portfolio 7/31/2008 7:20:00 AM DENVER, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ROYAL GOLD, INC. (Nasdaq: RGLD; TSX: RGL), the leading precious metals royalty company, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a portfolio of royalties from Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick") for net cash consideration of $150 million and a restructuring of certain Royal Gold royalty positions at Barrick's Cortez Pipeline Mining Complex ("Cortez") in Nevada. The restructuring of these royalty positions will reduce the royalty burden on the undeveloped Crossroads deposit at Cortez while having only a minimal impact on Royal Gold's royalty revenue from the current production. The Barrick portfolio consists of royalties on 77 properties, including eight producing royalties, 20 development and evaluation stage properties, and 49 exploration projects. Over 75% of the portfolio consists of precious metals royalties. The purchase price for the acquisition will be paid from cash on hand. Royalty revenue generated from the Barrick portfolio in calendar 2007 was approximately $12 million. Revenues are expected to grow, assuming current commodity prices, as development stage projects commence production. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive on all key financial measures. This royalty package complements Royal Gold's existing geographical royalty positions with significant growth into Canada and Australia. Terms of the Transaction Currently, Royal Gold holds four gold royalty interests at Cortez, consisting of two sliding-scale gross smelter return ("GSR") royalties ("GSR1 and GSR2"), a fixed rate GSR royalty ("GSR3") and a net value return royalty ("NVR1").
