ADVENTURE AGENT SUPPORTS A MORITORIUM ON MINING IN POPULATED AREAS, IN PARTICULAR, EASTERN ONTARIO, NORTH FRONTENAC

PRESS RELEASE:
ARAB AND MUSLIM CANADIANS SUPPORT ALGONQUIN OPPOSITION TO URANIUM MINING

The Canadian Arab Federation (CAF), along with Palestine House, Parole Arabe and the Canadian Islamic Congress, lends its unwavering support to the Ardoch Algonquin and Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nations for their opposition and protest over uranium mining on disputed land, part of a 25-year-old Algonquin land claim.

CAF, Palestine House, Parole Arabe and the Canadian Islamic Congress also expresses their shock over Ardoch Algonquin First Nation negotiator Bob Lovelace’s jail sentence of 6 months and $25,000 fine for his role in protesting the exploration. Furthermore, we believe that the government of Ontario and Frontenac Ventures behaved in a clandestine and underhanded manner by beginning their exploration without even notifying the First Nations groups.

We urge the province of Ontario to engage in negotiations with the First Nations people to end the dispute and hammer out a resolution which is beneficial for all parties.

For more information, please contact:
Khaled Mouammar , CAF National President; Farid Ayad, President, Palestine House
Ehab Lotayef, VP Communications, Mohamed Elmasry, President, Canadian Islamic Congress

The information provided above relates to the potential development of a Uranium mine at Robertsville Ontario. The Robertsville uranium mine would be developed at Robertsville, near Sharbot Lake, North Frontenac Township, Frontenac County, in Eastern Ontario. Robertsville was one of several small community stops on the Kingston & Pembroke Railway line. Now reliant on tourism and mineral and timber extraction, the Robertsville mine does not bode well for eco tourism, which the County and the Townships have been trying to promote.
