Marketwired
Lions Gate Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: LGM) ("Lions Gate" or the
"Company") continues to work with the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary
Chiefs to implement the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding
signed between LGM and the Office of the Wet'suwet'en on August 11,
2009.
LGM understands that there are unresolved issues of political
representation and jurisdiction between the Wet'suwet'en Hereditary
Chiefs and a particular house group within the Wet'suwet'en Nation.
This issue was raised on April 6, 2010 by a number of individuals
who attended the site of planned exploration activities at the
Company's Poplar Property. Pending resolution of this internal
dispute Lions Gate has put its proposed activities on hold.
Lions Gate has an ongoing positive relationship with the
Wet'suwet'en, stemming from the Memorandum of Understanding, and
will continue to apply this progressive approach throughout the
development of the Poplar Property.
"Our Company will make every effort to involve all local First
Nations interests and address concerns in a positive manner
throughout every stage of development," said Blair McIntyre, Lions
Gate Metals' Director of Operations. "Lions Gate Metals will
respect the internal discussions between the Wet'suwet'en
Hereditary Chiefs and this group, and allow these discussions to
continue without our interference. We view the Poplar Project as a
viable and long-term opportunity for First Nations, local
communities and our Company," concluded McIntyre.
