STLLR, Tlicho complete Colomac renewable energy project

Mr. Keyvan Salehi reports STLLR GOLD AND TLICHO INVESTMENT CORPORATION COMPLETE SOLAR FARM INSTALLATION AT THE COLOMAC GOLD PROJECT STLLR Gold Inc. and the Tlicho Investment Corp., the business arm of the Tlicho government, have completed a two-year renewable energy project at the Colomac gold project site in the Northwest Territories. Funding for the project was provided by the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency along with an investment from the TIC. The project included the purchase and installation of a solar power generation and battery storage system (panels, inverters and batteries) as well as staff training on its operation and maintenance. Construction of the solar array and installation of the battery systems were completed by Solvest Inc. in early August, marking the transition to a renewable power source for camp operations. This conversion is expected to positively influence STLLR Gold's operating costs, camp efficiency and overall operational capacity, while reducing reliance on diesel fuel. Keyvan Salehi, president and chief executive officer of STLLR Gold, commented: "With the construction of the Colomac solar farm complete, we've taken an important step in strengthening our partnership with the Tlicho Investment Corp. and advancing our operational efficiency at site. This is a tangible example of how sustainable infrastructure can support both our business and communities alike." Paul Gruner, chief executive officer of TIC, stated: "Seeing this project completed is both a proud milestone for the Tlicho Investment Corp. and a successful proof of concept that renewable energy projects are practical for Northern Canadian regions. The Colomac solar farm will generate cleaner energy and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. It stands as a working example of what can be achieved through strategic investment, skilled local partnerships, local training and our shared commitment to a sustainable future." Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and minister responsible for CanNor, added: "The completion of the Colomac solar farm is a significant milestone for renewable energy in the North. With close to $620,000 in federal support, this project moves away from expensive and polluting diesel, creates local training opportunities, and showcases the strength of indigenous-led partnerships and innovation. We are proud to see it already making a difference for the region and its future." About STLLR Gold Inc.
