On January 3, 2012, Ontario Superior Court Justice Carole Brown J. granted an injunction to the Wahgoshig First Nation (the "WFN") restraining a junior minor from engaging in all mining exploration activities for 120 days on Treaty 9 lands upon finding that the company failed to consult the WFN prior to conducting its exploratory drilling.

Ancestors of WFN entered into Treaty 3 with Canada in 1873. Today, about 350 WFN members reside on a reserve located in northwestern Ontario.
