Strategic Community Development

Talon plays an active role in advancing First Nations communities by supporting project funding efforts, workforce development, and long-term capacity building. We help communities better understand the exploration process, the differences between exploration and mining, and how to position themselves for meaningful involvement and benefits.

By connecting community members to job opportunities and guiding them through key project milestones, we support sustainable development and lasting prosperity. Our strategic guidance ensures communities are not just consulted — but empowered.

Exploration & Resource Planning

Talon supports exploration companies and communities by identifying local opportunities and building human resource capacity from the ground up. We leverage the strengths and skills within First Nations communities to support early-stage exploration through to resource development.

Through targeted training, education, and workforce alignment, we help communities prepare for and participate in major projects — while ensuring companies have access to reliable, local support. Backed by expert mining partners, we help turn early exploration projects into thriving, high-value operations with long-term potential.

Mine Site Reclamation Support

Talon provides full-service cleanup and reclamation for abandoned and legacy mine sites, with a strong focus on environmental safety and sustainability. Our experienced team handles all aspects of site remediation — including the safe disposal of PCBs and transformers, tailings and concentrate removal, and deconstruction of site infrastructure.

Every project is completed to the highest standards of compliance, sustainability, and care for the land — supporting a cleaner, safer future for surrounding communities and ecosystems.

Exploration Drilling

Talon works closely with trusted drilling partners to support exploration companies operating on or near Indigenous lands. Through strategic partnerships and joint ventures, we help connect projects with experienced crews while creating opportunities for First Nations-owned businesses to participate in drilling operations.

Our role is to coordinate, align, and support these services — ensuring that exploration programs are efficient, community-aligned, and delivered with respect for local protocols and priorities.
