NEW BRUNSWICK - Trevali Mining of Vancouver has thrown its support behind the recently launched First Nations Underground Core Mining Training Program, the first of its kind in the province, offered by the New Brunswick Community College in Miramichi. The program is a partnership between the Aboriginal Workforce Development Initiative, the New Brunswick Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, and Trevali.

Twelve people from Elsipogtog, Pabineau, Eel Ground, Esgenoopetitj, Eel River Bar and Metepenagiag were selected and are taking part in the initial 11-week training-to-employment initiative for Trevali's new Halfmile zinc-lead mine in the Bathurst Mining Camp. Upon successful graduation candidates will be teamed with experienced miners for on the job training in all aspects of underground mining operations after which they will receive a certificate, thereby creating a new generation of skilled First Nation tradespeople to help serve a growing resource industry.
