The Metallic Group is well established in the Yukon with multiple projects under development by member companies.
The Group employs dedicated personnel in Whitehorse, who are long-time residents of the Yukon and, as such, have
an affinity for and understanding of its people, its history and its robust mineral endowment. Ms. Blackburn has been
with Metallic Minerals and the Metallic Group since its founding and has taken a leading role in the Company’s
community, permitting and regulatory initiatives. The addition of Ms. Wilson greatly increases our capacity to build
meaningful and long-lasting and mutually beneficial partnerships in keeping with our strong commitment to
environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) aspects of the resource sector. The Metallic Group is committed to
applying best industry practices to exploration and to make positive contributions in the Territory and the specific
communities in which we work.
Lauren Blackburn - Manager, Regulatory and Permitting
Ms. Blackburn has over 15 years of Yukon-based experience in the mineral exploration sector focused on the
exploration and development of early to advanced-stage silver, gold, and base metal deposits. Her primary
concentration has been in northern Canada where she has garnered a dynamic skill set that includes expertise in the
exploration process, permitting, lands management, regulatory lobbying, land-use planning and community
engagement. Ms. Blackburn is highly involved in Territorial legislation and policy review, permitting activities and
assists in evaluation of potential project acquisitions and strategic development.
Lindsay Wilson - Manager, Community & Investor Relations
A member of the Snuneymuxw First Nation on Vancouver Island, Ms. Wilson is focused on incorporating traditional
ways of being into her work within the resource sector and seeking to develop sustainable and credible partnerships
within the communities that she works. Ms. Wilson has a comprehensive background in indigenous studies and public
relations, alongside practical experience in the mineral resource sector. Having worked previously in the Yukon with
the Yukon Mining Alliance, Ms. Wilson is excited about the opportunity to return to work in the Yukon and looking
forward to reconnecting with the communities there.
Arctic Indigenous Investment Conference (AIIC)
The Metallic Group Community and First Nations Team will be attending the AIIC on May 4th & 5th in Whitehorse,
Yukon.
Connecting globally – through a hybrid (in-person & virtual) experience – AIIC 2022 will highlight and promote
indigenous development corporations and businesses in the northern economy, alongside the north’s business
community and colleagues across sectors. The goals of AIIC 2022 are to support economic reconciliation and growth,
and youth entrepreneurship by forging new and stronger relationships, advancing meaningful partnerships, and
connecting people across the arctic. Indigenous development corporations and businesses play a key role across
northern Canada. These efforts are supported when we stand together with a collaborative voice for business,
northern investment and our citizens, to ensure a diverse and prosperous economy, community and future.
