The Chiefs of Ontario are throwing their collective weight behind the Matawa First Nations in its decision to withdraw its support for the Ring of Fire mine development.
First Nation leaders said talks with the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency “broke down” after an effort to obtain a Joint Review Panel Environmental Assessment proved unsuccessful. For now, the federal agency is going with a more limited comprehensive assessment process that accepts only written submissions of support or concern of the proposed mine, transportation and processing regional project in the remote James Bay lowlands, the northwestern Ontario village of Nakina and another yet-to-be-named electric arc furnace location.
The Matawa First Nations, Mining Watch, CPAWS-Wildlands League and Ecojustice are calling all on the federal government to negotiate a review panel process for the Black Thor chromite deposit in the Ring of Fire proposed by Cliffs Natural Resource
