#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."

Our Homelands are Not for Sale: #Neskantaga #FirstNation Condemns #Canada 's Ring of Fire Investment Pitch
Ontario
As Prime Minister Carney courts global investors in Toronto, Canada is marketing mineral exploration in Treaty No. 9 while governments advance the roads needed to open the Ring of Fire without Neskantaga’s consent.

#TorontoON - "Today, as Prime Minister #MarkCarney welcomes some of the world’s largest #investors to the Canada Investment Summit, Neskantaga First Nation is putting the Prime Minister, participating corporations and every investor in the room on notice: our homelands are not Canada’s to sell.
"The federal government’s investment prospectus lists #JunoCorp as an investment opportunity based on its extensive mineral claims in the #RingOfFire . It promotes the company’s fully funded $20-million exploration program, its gold and critical-mineral discoveries and its search for investors prepared to commit capital for more than a decade.
"Neskantaga wants the investors here in #Toronto today to know: Neskantaga will be meeting the #MiningIndustry on the land when the time comes. There is no certainty for Ring of Fire investments as long as our people are alive. We will defend our home and waters.
"Canada is presenting #ContestedLands in Treaty No. 9 as a long-term investment opportunity while Ontario accelerates construction of the Webequie Supply Road, the Marten Falls Community Access Road and the southern roads needed to reach the proposed Northern Road Link. These roads are being advanced before the Ring of Fire Regional Assessment is complete and without Neskantaga’s free, prior and informed consent.
The summit exposes what Neskantaga has said all along: these roads are not simply community-access projects. Together, they are the industrial corridor governments and mining companies need to open the so-called Ring of Fire to large-scale extraction. Canada and Ontario are using public money, regulatory approvals and political promotion to manufacture the appearance that this development is inevitable and to make it more attractive to private capital."
