Environment
Redton subscribes to the Driving Responsible Exploration framework developed by the PDAC, and, in particular, to its Environmetal Stewardship goals.
In 2021 Redton commissioned a wildlife assessment report on Nation Mountain which focused primarily on caibou and which was made available to all interested parties. Its recommnedations appropriate for the scale of Redton's activies on the property have been implemented, in particular limiting helicopter overflight untill after the 15th of July.
Redton is concerned about the impact of forestry clear-cuts on the environment in which it operates (see the satellite image overlays below). Redton believes that mining revenues, which would be shared with local communities should a mine result from Redton's exploration work, could be used to mitigate damage caused by clear-cuts.
Safety
Redton also subscribes to the Health and Safety goals of the Driving Responsible Exploration framework developed by the PDAC.
Since most of the work conducted on the Heath Falcon property has been conducted by contractors, as is common practice in BC, Redton ensures that its contractors adhere to high, auditable, standards of safety. Redton management make regular visits to field operations to ensure that safety standards are upheld, and participates acitively in contractor risk management meetings, both before and after field seasons.
Redton also makes regular reference to safety tools and references provided by AMEBC.
Social
Redton operates in the traditional territories of the Nak'azdli, Takla and McLeod Lake Indian Band First Nations, with its closest town being Fort St James.
Redton is in regular constructive communication with all three of the First Nations within whose traditional territories its claims lie, as well as with various service and supplies providers in Fort St James and Prince George.
Redton is committed to preserving the archaeological history of the region within which it operates.
Governance
Redton applies the principles of responsible governance and management as described on the home page of the PDAC's Driving Responsible Exploration framework.
