The Minister of Northern Development and Mines says he's willing to set up a meeting between the leaders from the Big Trout Lake First Nation and Platinex to try to resolve their on-going dispute.
Earlier this week, residents of the community prevented float plane carrying Platinex officials from landing.
Michael Gravelle says he's willing to try to bring both sides together.
Platinex has been trying to drill on property near Big Trout Lake, but the band has been adamantly opposed to any exploration work in its traditional land use territory.
