The Hope Bay Project IIBA and the Back River Project IIBA
The Kitikmeot Qualified Business Registry is administered in accordance with the Hope Bay Belt Project and the Back River Project Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreements (IIBAs). These IIBAs are legal contracts between the KIA and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM/TMAC) and between the KIA and Sabina Gold and Silver Corporation/B2 Gold Nunavut Corp, respectively. The IIBAs require that benefits are provided to Inuit in the areas of training, employment and contracting. Companies enrolled on the KQBR have sole access to bidding on specific contract categories of goods and services.

If you are interested in learning more about the IIBAs, please contact Jennifer Amagoalik for plain language and formal language copies of the IIBAs.
