Reflecting on a Year of Change: KORITE’s Exciting Path Forward

 

The close of one year and the dawn of another is always special, but this moment feels monumental for KORITE. After a transformative few months of new leadership and fresh beginnings, we’re entering 2025 with renewed purpose, bold ambition, and an eagerness to share the next chapter of our story with the world.

A Transformative 2024: Leadership, Growth, and Rebuilding

This year marked a pivotal turning point for KORITE as Tracy Day Chief, Beth Day Chief, and Amarjeet Grewal—our visionary new owners—stepped forward to lead the company into an exciting future. With Beth and Amarjeet making history as KORITE’s first female owners, their leadership is reshaping not only our company but also the Ammolite industry. Together, they bring a spirit of inclusivity, creativity, and innovation.

"This transition isn’t only about leading KORITE into the future—it’s about honouring its roots while embracing new possibilities," shares Amarjeet.

Under their leadership, KORITE has made significant strides to continue and build relationships with our valued clients and partners. This year was about more than transition; it was about rediscovering trust and reimagining what KORITE can achieve. From revitalizing collaborations to strengthening connections, 2024 set the foundation for a brighter future.


Ethical Practices and Sustainability: A Commitment to the Earth and Communities

At KORITE, sustainability is deeply woven into everything we do, guided by the traditions and values of our Indigenous leadership. Tracy Day Chief’s profound respect for the land ensures that our practices honour Mother Earth, making environmental stewardship a cornerstone of our business. For Tracy and Beth, protecting the Earth is not just a philosophy but a way of life, reflected in every step of our operations.

Under their leadership, KORITE has embraced innovative, eco-conscious mining techniques that prioritize the health of the land. We take great care in how we source and create with Ammolite, ensuring our practices are responsible and sustainable. This commitment goes beyond words—it's embedded in the very foundation of KORITE’s business model.

As we move forward into 2025 and beyond, KORITE will continue to lead with integrity, setting a global example for ethical sourcing and sustainability. Our dedication to the Earth and future generations remains at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that growth and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
