It's iron oxide, gold, copper. It's a bit like what Broken Hill, or BHP, has in Australia. It's one of the largest deposits of critical metals in the world.
What the federal government does is it decides on areas that they want to alienate. Then they do what they call a MERA—a mineral, energy and resource assessment. The problem is that as an advocate, you're also using your people to alienate that land. I believe that should be done by private industry, not by the federal government. I think you would then have a fairer MERA.
We actually raised a public concern on alienating all of that land in perpetuity, because that's essentially what happens: A significant sector is removed to help reconcile and deal with the economy of the NWT.
