Partnership with Homalco First Nations
Proceeds help enhance the region
We were introduced to this powerful healing clay by the Homalco First Nation people on whose traditional territory our clay resources are located and whose historical relationships with the land continues to this day. We continue to foster and strengthen our relationship with the Homalco people with part of our proceeds going to support their local fish hatchery, Grizzly Bear tours and next generation cultural development.
Sustainable & Renewable Resource
Environmental Stewardship is our Priority
Our mineral claims are located at the base of mountainous icefields that deposit 3-4 inches of new clay silt annually. We rotate between the areas of our 10 claims (55 acres each) to ensure we do not harvest from the same area for 5 years. We only harvest the clay from the top 12-18 inches of the surface as this region has the richest clay full of beneficial microbiomes and minerals. Thus, we allow time for each harvest to be replenished with between 15-20 inches of clay before we harvest again.
