Frequently Asked Questions

Kami has the potential to create over 600 quality jobs for Labradorians and Indigenous communities, as well as opportunities for local businesses.

Since we have not yet made a final investment decision, the recruitment process has not yet been launched. However, should the Project go ahead, we’ll be sure to communicate job opportunities to the Lab West and Indigenous communities.

Suppliers interested in potential procurement opportunities can fill out the Procurement Opportunities Form available in the Contact Us section of our website. This will allow us to include your company in our database.

We remain committed to prioritizing local recruitment and believe Kami will eventually create significant job opportunities for Labrador West residents and Indigenous communities.

However, at this stage of the Project and for the purposes of the pre-feasibility study completed in March 2024, it was simply impossible to rely solely on assuming local hiring to fill all the positions required for Kami. The region’s current employment rate does not allow us to make such an assumption. As a result, we had to assume a certain level of foreign employment to complete local hiring.

As part of our collaborative approach, we are actively working with various levels of government and with municipalities to evaluate measures that could be implemented to mitigate this situation and reinforce Lab West community’s attractiveness.

The Project staffing situation is expected to be complex and will require the participation of all stakeholders to develop growth opportunities for the region and leverage its greatest asset: Labradorians.

If the Kami Project moves forward, we intend to maintain a local procurement approach to maximize economic benefits for the Lab West community and for the region.

However, a final investment decision has not yet been made, and the procurement process has not officially begun.

That said, we remain committed to engaging with local stakeholders and exploring potential opportunities for collaboration.

Suppliers are also encouraged to complete the Procurement Opportunities Form available in the Contact Us section of our website to be considered for future opportunities, should the project go ahead.

We are working to limit Kami’s environmental footprint and remain committed to ongoing optimization efforts. We have already included new mitigation measures to reduce dust, including:

– Installation of a dome over the stockpiles to reduce dust emissions

– Optimization of the footprint of the tailings management facility

We have set up a working group to pursue discussions on the project and develop mitigation measures with the inputs from local stakeholders. This process is important to us because, if it advances towards development, we want Kami to create a positive impact and benefit the community.

Kami places great importance on building strong, trust-based partnerships with Indigenous communities. We have consulted five communities (Uashat mak Mani-Utenam, Matimekush-Lake-John, Innu Nation, Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach and NunatuKavut Community Council) as part of the process and we will continue to consult them.
