#LacSimon #FirstNation evicts #GoldMine from its ancestral territory
By Savanna Craig
Sep 01, 2026"Lac Simon Chief #LucienWabanonik stands looking over a sea of rock core samples a mining company left on his community’s territory.
"Work at this proposed mine has been at a standstill for weeks.
"Wabanonik smiles as a large visitor walks by — one he hasn’t seen on the many visits he’s had at this mine.
" 'The first time I see a moose here,' he says as the moose looks back at him.
"The #Novador #OpenPit gold mine project is happening on Lac Simon First Nation’s ancestral territory, about 400 kilometres north of #Ottawa.
"The project is in the exploration phase, where the company is taking core samples from the ground to determine the location of gold deposits. Drilling stopped weeks ago when Lac Simon issued an eviction notice to Mexican #mining company #Fresnillo.
" 'Nature is slowly coming back, but if you listen, do you hear anything? Birds, no?' says Wabanonik. 'There’s nothing moving around the area when there’s drilling happening.'
"Wabanonik says the Novador project was approved without Lac Simon’s consent. Now the community is turning to the courts."
