The Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation is taking action to ensure it doesn’t run into any more disputes, like its battle with Platinex by setting its own rules for mining exploration companies.

A long running dispute to stop the junior mining company from exploration drilling on its traditional lands resulted in six band leaders finally receiving jail sentences for ignoring a court order to allow the company to resume activity.

KI has announced a series of workshops aimed at developing an action plan that will prepare it for incursion into its territory by exploration companies. KI says the workshops will cover legal strategies, domestic and international lobbying and direct action.
