NorZinc Ltd. announced the signing of a Transportation Corridor Benefits Agreement (the "Agreement") with Acho Dene Koe First Nation related to the transportation of mineral concentrate from the Prairie Creek Project ("Prairie Creek" or the "Project") through the First Nation's Traditional Territory in the Northwest Territories and British Columbia, Canada. This Agreement sets the basis for the long-term working partnership and benefits for Acho Dene Koe First Nation and its members and its businesses. Acho Dene Koe First Nation's Traditional Territory and waters span three jurisdictions: British Columbia, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.

Its main community is currently settled in Fort Liard. The Concentrate from the Mine will pass immediately by Fort Liard on Northwest Territories' Highway 7 (commonly referred to as the Liard Highway) and will continue on Provincial BC Highway 77 within the First Nations traditional territory in British Columbia. Acho Dene Koe First Nation and its economic development corporation ("ADK Holdings Ltd") will participate in the benefits of the project, particularly through training, employment, business, and contracting opportunities related to the transportation of mineral concentrate.
