CANADIAN ARROW BEGINS CONSULTATIONS WITH TREATY NO. 3 FIRST NATIONS FOR KENBRIDGE NICKEL PROJECT
Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd. has commenced formal consultations with the Anishinaabe Nation Treaty No. 3 regarding the company's Kenbridge nickel project in Northwestern Ontario. Kenbridge is a nickel-copper deposit located within Treaty No. 3 traditional territory, a distance of approximately 60 kilometres southeast from the city of Kenora.
As reported in Stockwatch news dated Nov. 5, 2007, the company has engaged local first nations early in the project's development and is seeking authorization for the project through the Treaty No. 3 resource law known as Manito Aki Inakonigaawin, or the Great Earth law. Representatives from Canadian Arrow Mines, Treaty No. 3 grand council and the four first nations communities near Kenbridge (Naotkamegwanning, Northwest Angle No. 33, Northwest Angle No. 37, Onigaming) recently met in Kenora for further discussions on the project. It was decided there that Treaty No. 3 would create a taskforce with representation from the grand council and the four communities to participate in the consultation process with Canadian Arrow Mines.
Kim Tyler, president of Canadian Arrow, comments: "We are very pleased to advance discussions on the Kenbridge nickel project with Treaty No. 3 to the consultation phase. Our work at Kenbridge will soon shift away from exploration and into permitting and project design. Arrow believes the area around the Kenbridge nickel project contains excellent exploration potential, so building a strong relationship with Treaty No. 3 is a priority for us. We look forward to future discussions with Treaty No.3 on project participation, employment, business opportunities and education."
Canadian Arrow continues to advance the Kenbridge nickel project, recently completing a preliminary economic assessment and purchasing several key long lead items. The company's plans for 2008 include consultations with Treaty No. 3, completing a bankable feasibility study, beginning regional exploration work and conducting an advanced exploration program later in the year.
