Friday, April 29, 2011, a motion brought by Constance Lake First Nation was scheduled to be heard in court. The community was seeking an injunction to stop ongoing mineral exploration activity by Zenyatta Ventures Limited in and around the community’s traditional land use area.
It has been reported by various media outlets that an injunction was granted to Constance Lake First Nation against Zenyatta Ventures Limited.
It is our understanding that no decision was made on the injunction and that the matter was adjourned by the judge, subject to certain terms, to allow the company and Constance Lake First Nation to meet, along with Ontario, to attempt to resolve the situation.
It is our sincere hope that fruitful discussions will resume immediately and a resolution to this matter can be found.
