NORONT RESOURCES DONATIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS PROGRAM
INFORMATION & ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Noront Resources Ltd. (Noront) is committed to actively supporting the communities surrounding our operations
in the Ring of Fire in Northern Ontario and those in which our employees live and work. While we are actively
involved in supporting ongoing and annual events in these communities, we give consideration to other funding
requests from non-profit organizations, local Aboriginal communities, municipalities, educational institutions
and other initiatives. The Noront Resources Donations and Sponsorships Program (NRDSP) is intended to
complement, not substitute for, Noront’s Corporate Social Responsibility commitments.
The NRDSP strives to support those with mandates that contribute to the economic and social development of the
before mentioned communities. Preference is given to requests which are in alignment with Noront’s key areas
of focus, namely:
