For further reference: "On June 26, 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada (the “SCC”) released its decision in Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia (the “William Decision”), pursuant to which the SCC confirmed the Tsilhqot’in’s claim to Aboriginal title over a large area of land in central British Columbia, granting the Tsilhqot’in the right to decide how the subject land will be used, the right to possess the land, the rights to the economic benefits of the land, and the right to pro-actively use and manage the land. The SCC held that to justify an intrusion on title, the government must show it has discharged its duty to consult and accommodate, that its actions were backed by a compelling and substantive objective, and the government action is consistent with the Crown’s fiduciary
- bligation to the group. Resource development on claimed land to which Aboriginal title has not been established requires the
government to consult with the claimant Aboriginal group, and, if appropriate, accommodate its interest. The Company does not currently hold any properties in the area subject to the William Decision, but has entered into an option to joint venture agreement with Gorilla Minerals Corp., involving certain mineral claims in an area of the Yukon Territory that may be subject to a claim for Aboriginal rights and title by the White River First Nation. The Company will continue to manage its
- perations within the existing legal framework while paying close attention to the direction provided by the Government of the
Yukon regarding the application of the William Decision. Therefore, risks and uncertainties associated with developing these claims remain consistent with those referenced herein."
