Nighthawk Gold Corp. (Nighthawk) is a mineral exploration company that has been exploring for gold for a several years in the area around the old Colomac Mine. Nighthawk wants to continue and expand their gold exploration work, so they have applied to the Wek’èezhı̀i Land and Water Board for new licences and permits. The project area is within the Wek’ èezhı̀i co-management area, just outside of Tłı̨chǫ land. One day, Nighthawk hopes to find enough gold to possibly propose a mine, but for now they are asking for a licence to continue looking for gold.
