In the Northern Interior, the McLeod Lake Indian Band is expected to claim royalties of between $35 million and $40 million over the 15-year life of Thompson Creek Metal’s Mount Milligan gold and copper mine. The Nak’azdli will share an additional $24 million in royalties from the mine.

In the Lower Mainland, the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh last year negotiated a 50-per-cent stake in a federal land deal that includes the Jericho military lands valued at $300 million. Once developed, estimates peg the Jericho real estate at $3 billion.

And the Tahltan expect to receive $2.36 billion in benefits during the next 60 years from the three AltaGas run-of-river projects for agreements covering revenue-sharing from the province and company, contracts, ownership and upfront payments. Community members have been told another $78 million could flow from the Red Chris mine.
