SUDBURY, ON, Sept. 9 /CNW/ - Canadian Arrow Mines Ltd. (CRO: TSX-V) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce it has received a prestigious award commemorating its business relationship with the Treaty No. 3 First Nation regarding the development of the Company's Kenbridge nickel copper project located near Kenora, northwestern Ontario. The honour was bestowed this past spring by the past Grand Chief, (Ogichidaa) Arnold Gardner at the Treaty No. 3 Aboriginal Mining and Exploration Workshop held in Kenora, Ontario.
Canadian Arrow is striving to bring its Kenbridge nickel copper project located within Treaty No. 3 First Nation traditional lands to an early production decision. The Company has engaged the local First Nations communities early in the project's development and is seeking authorization for the project through the Treaty No. 3 resource law known as Manito Aki Inakonigaawin, or the Great Earth Law.
The Company has previously announced that it has already moved into formal consultations with representatives from Treaty No. 3 Grand Council and the four First Nations communities near Kenbridge (Naotkamegwanning, Northwest Angle No. 33, Northwest Angle No. 37, and Onigaming).
Upon receiving the award, President Kim Tyler stated, "We are greatly honoured to receive such recognition, however the recognition and honour must be fully reciprocated. We would not have proceeded so well to this point if not for the leadership of Treaty No. 3.
The Great Earth Law enacted by the people of Treaty No. 3 is really quite unique and groundbreaking in its scope and utility. It sets the process of engagement for any resource industry proponent wishing to take up business in their traditional lands. The Great Earth Law and the professional integrity of the Treaty No. 3 leadership stand as an exceptional model of private business-First Nations enterprise."
