The many partnerships at McKinley
The McKinley Mine embarked on a path of partnership building with a diverse group of institutions and organizations about five years ago, without realizing it at the time. The partnerships now include a formal agreement with The Gallup/McKinley County School District, and a semi-formal agreement with the Forestry Department of the Navajo Nation. It is, of course, important to identify the goal and expected benefits of these partnerships. In some cases the benefits to the Company are tangible, and in some cases they are not. An example of a tangible benefit would be the partnership with the Navajo Nation where an economic benefit is derived by purchasing a high quality product (trees) at an attractive price. In this case there are tangible, mutual benefits since the Navajo Nation Forestry has a handy laboratory (McKinley) to test its product. The partnership with the US Navy can be classified as having intangible benefits. In this case, there is no measurable economic gain for the company, but something of considerable more potential for the country. These two partnerships are discussed in detail.
