Platinex update

Junior mining company Platinex says it plans to talk to the province about accessing its mining claims near Big Trout Lake.

The company says it plans to enter into mediation with the province to discuss getting access to its mining claims near Big Trout Lake First Nation.

The talks are to begin this week.

Platinex has launched a 70-million-dollar lawsuit against the government, claiming it has lost millions of dollars because the province allegedly botched its duties toward the Northern First Nation.
