Chief Warns Mt. Milligan

Nakazdli Chief Fred Sam warned Mt. Milligan not to toot it's own horn so much until it settles matters like jobs and revenue sharing with the local Nakazdli Nation.

"This proposal by Terrane at Shus Nadloh requires the free, prior and informed consent of our people and the discussions with the Crown and the company are not proceeding well," asserted Sam.

Shus Nadloh is the First Nation's name for Mount Milligan.

Sam said if the company, mining association and the province keep ignoring the Nak'azdli's rights, the project will not get to the construction phase.

Sam reiterated that the Nakazdli Band is not opposed to the mine.
