Bathurst Inlet

The name, or its native equivalent Kingoak (Qingaut, nose mountain), is also used to identify the community of Bathurst Inlet located on the shore.

A consortium of seven mining companies sponsored environmental impact studies to construct a deep-water port in Bathurst Inlet.

[8] In August 2013 Bathurst Inlet Port & Road (BIPR) Project, a joint venture composed of GlencoreXstrata, Sabina Gold and Silver Corporation, presented continued plans for facilities at the Grays Bay Port that would "include a dock, concentration storage shed, fuel storage facilities and a camp.

[12] The Bluenose East caribou herd began a recovery with a population of approximately 122,000 in 2010,[13] which is being credited to the establishment of Tuktut Nogait National Park.

[12] The proposed deep-water port serves as the basis of location in Don Bassingthwaite's short story, "Too Much Is Never Enough" from the science fiction anthology, Foreshadows: The Ghosts of Zero.
