Home to North America’s Diamond Capital; a rich mining history with potential for new discoveries. The Northwest Territories is committed to doing our part to support responsible resource development. This sector has been the backbone of our economy for decades and is the biggest source of private sector jobs and income for our residents. We are a region rich in resource potential – including minerals that will fuel the global green economy and support climate change efforts. As a government, we will continue to welcome development and continue to offer a suite of programs and incentives to encourage exploration. We are also committed to expanding the transportation and energy infrastructure that will enable this sector to grow, while creating prosperity for the NWT.
