Campaign Overview
Justice for Gitxaała is Free, Prior, and Informed Consent
Gitxaała Nation is taking B.C. and several “free miners”, including Global Mineral Resources Corporation, to court over mineral claims in their territory that were registered without notification, consultation or consent.
Thanks to Gitxaała’s win at the B.C. Supreme Court (2023), B.C. will no longer allow corporations to stake mining claims in Indigenous territory without consultation with Indigenous Peoples. Gitxaała Nation is now pushing the court to uphold Free, Prior and Informed consent, and quash the mineral claims on Banks Island.
