KI Platinex National Chief

Assembly of First Nations National Chief is weighing into the ongoing dispute between Kitchen-nuh-may-koosib Inninwug First Nation and the exploration company Platinex.

Shawn Atleo is urging the province to consult with the first nation community on a land use plan, suggesting mining permits be cancelled until the plan is complete.

Platinex wants to resume exploration on the property near the community under the authority of a 2007 court order.

The band is opposed to such activity.
