Quadra and Atikameksheng (formerly Whitefish Lake First Nation) have signed a memorandum of understanding that will help define the company's activities within the community's territory, including the Victoria Advanced Exploration Project.
“Although much work is still needed to reach a final agreement, I commend the hard work that both teams have done,” Atikameksheng Chief Steve Miller said in a news release. “We have a good working relationship with Quadra FNX and expect that to continue as we move toward negotiating a final agreement.”
“The MOU and agreement is an important step in Quadra FNX's establishment of a long-term relationship with Atikameksheng as well as other stakeholders in the Sudbury area,” added Paul Blythe, president and CEO with Quadra FNX. “We believe this MOU will lead to a mutually beneficial partnership for both Quadra FNX and Atikameksheng as we continue to look for opportunities to develop projects in Sudbury, including Victoria, which we are moving towards development.”
