NEW YORK, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The gold mining industry is a crucial part of the global economy, generating billions of dollars in revenue each year. Gold has been a valuable commodity for centuries, and its status as a safe haven investment continues to drive demand for the precious metal. The basic economics of the gold mining industry are fairly simple: gold is mined from the earth, refined, and sold to buyers around the world. The price of gold is determined by supply and demand factors, including the amount of gold available for sale, the level of demand from investors, and the strength of the global economy. One of the main drivers of demand for gold is its use as a store of value. In times of economic uncertainty or market volatility, investors often turn to gold as a safe haven investment to protect their wealth. This is because gold is viewed as a reliable hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. As such, gold tends to perform well when other asset classes, such as stocks and bonds, are underperforming. Over the past six months, the price of gold has risen approximately 20%, to more than $2,000 per ounce. iMetal Resources, Inc.

  • In times of economic uncertainty or market volatility, investors often turn to gold as a safe haven investment to protect their wealth.
  • Geographically, gold mining is common in many parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

In summer 2022, the Northern WE in Tourism study invited Indigenous women entrepreneurs from northern Newfoundland and Labrador, northern Québec, Nunavut, the Yukon and Northwest Territories to collaborate on an Indigenous-led and ally-supported research project.

Key Points: 
  • In summer 2022, the Northern WE in Tourism study invited Indigenous women entrepreneurs from northern Newfoundland and Labrador, northern Québec, Nunavut, the Yukon and Northwest Territories to collaborate on an Indigenous-led and ally-supported research project.
  • Over shared stories of lived experiences and examples of best practices, participants discussed the barriers faced by Indigenous women entrepreneurs in the North and their colonial origins.

History of colonization

    • If an Indigenous woman married outside her community, she lost her status.
    • Her children were also denied their right to status, setting the foundation for intergenerational vulnerability and cultural alienation.
    • Almost 1,200 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls were identified by law enforcement between 1980 and 2012.

Indigenous tourism

    • These conventional systems are not designed to factor the lived realities of Indigenous women into their operations.
    • The complex challenges facing Indigenous women in Canada’s North cannot be resolved in isolation or at the discretion of the entities that created them.
    • Often lacking Western educational requirements, business experience or associated skill sets, Indigenous women experience significant bias in accessing support.
    • And tourism provides a gateway to entrepreneurship for Indigenous women, serving as a catalyst capable of influencing societal behaviour on a broader scale.

Understanding success

    • Success requires healing and understanding the impact of intergenerational trauma.
    • Viewing success through this lens places value on equity, the concept of continuity of culture and Indigenous integration and stewardship of their lands.
    • As Indigenous business owner Joella Hogan put it:
      “I really try to lead my business with the values and teachings that I have been taught.
    • Our Elders give us these teachings so we can be strong Northern Tutchone people and live our lives in a good way.
