   In March 2012, Advanced Security, a local security firm was purchased. This
   is a separate independent business, who became a community-owned enterprise
   established as part of the works of Attawapiskat Resources Inc. (operated as
   AE). Advanced Security, a Timmins, Ontario-based provider of security and
   security risk management protective services, has operated throughout the

   Services. The result was improved safety, security and quality-of-life for
   community members and visitors. This service is now operated by the

Employment and Training


We have held training programs in Attawapiskat for people to learn food
preparation and safety standards.  The training program was carried out with
support from Collège Boréal and the Province of Ontario.



We launched a second program in co-operation with Collège Boréal, Outland
Camps, DeBeers Canada and the Province of Ontario.  A two-year “Cooks
Certification” program, it will provide training for at least seven individuals
from Attawapiskat and other coastal communities.

This process, and working with Outland Camps for on-site training, has resulted
in outstanding client satisfaction reports for Attawapiskat Catering personnel
working at the Victor Mine operation.

Advanced Security has conducted a few training programs in Attawapiskat for
First Nation individuals to prepare them to take formal Ontario Certification
testing as security guards.


Our goal as Attawapiskat Enterprises is to seek out practical and realistic
employment opportunities in the ventures we establish.  Then we can take steps
to supplement Attawapiskat First Nation members’ work skills with additional
training to match the jobs that result.

Employment Success

Attawapiskat Catering (ACLP)

ACLP has employed over 110 Attawapiskat First Nation members since the start of
our catering contract at the DeBeers Victor Mine. During production (as of April

strives to employ members of the Attawapiskat First Nation and other First
Nations.

members as security guards. These guards have worked in the following
capacities:

northern regions from Timmins to The James Bay coast. They maintain security
services for a few government contracts and the WAHA Health region.



Joint Ventures



Attawapiskat Enterprises has formed many successful Joint Ventures to bid on and
perform contracts at the DeBeers Victor Mine. At AE we are not a silent JV
partner. We are a true partner, helping with employment, communication with the
Attawapiskat First Nation and looking for sustainable opportunities after the
contract ends. Here are some of our joint venture partners:



History and Future



In 2005, Attawapiskat First Nation and De Beers Canada entered into a
formal Impact Benefit Agreement related to De Beers’ exploration and diamond
mining activities within Attawapiskat traditional territory.



In keeping with the loss of the use of the land while it is being mined, the
“IBA” set out how the First Nation would benefit in the areas of:

 * employment and business opportunities
 * training and education
 * sound environmental management
 * financial compensation



Phased Strategy

From the outset, business and employment opportunities secured by Attawapiskat
Resources were linked to the operation at Victor.

1

Phase One

Between 2006 and 2010, we established a number of key Joint Ventures.

2

Phase Two

Moving away from joint venture arrangements to full ownership and control.

3
Phase Three

We continue to look for new business opportunities and partnerships.
