Big Tree Carbon Inc. announced that it has restructured the loan with Agoke Development LP ("ADLP"), a business partnership of the Aroland, Eabametoong, and Marten Falls First Nations, and has received the first interest payments. This is a milestone for the emerging Natural Asset Resource Management sector that Big Tree is pioneering, with an effort to respect and benefit financially from the stewardship by the First Nations of Nature within the Natural Resource industry. On April 30, 2024, Big Tree received the first four months of scheduled interest payments on the restructured loan.

Big Tree provided the loan to ADLP to stabilize its ongoing forest management operations in the Ogoki Forest. The payment of interest is the first cash return on this investment made by Big Tree and represents a concrete example of how Big Tree is changing the business environment in Canada. The money sourced from the capital markets has had a genuine influence on the stabilization of Indigenous business development in Northern Ontario.
