KI, supported by four environmental groups, is calling on the Ontario Securities Commission to investigate whether Gods Lake Resources misled its investors in their securities filings. The junior exploration company appears not to have informed its investors that they are exploring in an area subject to KI's highly publicized moratorium on industry.

Major organizations are piling on in support of KI's campaign to stop Gods Lake Resources from desecrating KI sacred areas. Today NDP MPP asked pointed questions of Mining Minister Bartolucci, and recently the Anglican Primate wrote to Ontario urging them to respect KI's right to say no. Over 36 organizations have pledged their support for KI including Ontario Federation of Labour, Earthroots, Greenpeace, Council of Canadians, and the Canadian Federation of Students – Ontario.
Yesterday the Ontario government unilaterally withdrew 23,181 sq km of land in KI Homeland from mining exploration in response to KI’s longstanding decision to place a full moratorium on industry in our Indigenous Homeland. However, the claims and leases at the heart of KI’s conflict with Gods Lake Resources (GLR) are unaffected by ON’s move and the conflict over protection of our burials and sacred landscape remains unresolved.
