A Sudbury junior miner engaged in a lawsuit against the Ontario government plans to keep its shareholders well-informed during the trial.
Northern Superior Resources announced it will post a summary of each day’s proceedings in a Toronto court room beginning this week.
The company is seeking $25 million in compensation from the province for failing to protect its interests in a gold exploration play in northwestern Ontario. The company was forced to abandon its mining claims after some disputes with a First Nation community in 2011, including an alleged demand from the Aboriginal band that the junior miner pay them the an “administration fee.”
When Northern Superior refused, the community served the company with an “eviction notice,” forcing them to stop exploration work and leave the area.
The company now blames the province for failing to properly consult with the community. A ruling in the company’s favour could result in revisions to the Ontario Mining Act.
Four weeks have been set aside for the trial, which began Oct. 5, at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The summary will be posted on its web site before 10 a.m. on the following day.
In the event that a material event occurs during the course of the proceedings, the company said it will issue a formal press release as soon as possible in addition to the daily summary.
Northern Superior is continuing other gold exploration programs in Northern Ontario and Quebec.
