With its claims on First Nations traditional lands in Ontario’s Far North, Noront Resources Ltd. decided to appoint Glenn Nolan as its vice-president of Aboriginal affairs.
Nolan, a chief of the Missanabie Cree First Nation, advises exploration and mining companies on Aboriginal concerns and has provided information to Aboriginal communities on partnerships and resource opportunities.
He began his career in mining in the mid-'70s, prospecting throughout northern and western Canada working for a number of major mining companies before starting his own contracting company, conducting geophysical surveys, staking claims and camp management.
Nolan takes the position after serving on Noront’s recently formed committee on Aboriginal affairs.
