A site made and maintained by Sandy Lake, for our members to learn about Frontier Lithium's proposals and activities on our shared lands.
Sandy Lake has not agreed to a mine. No decision has been made. We will learn more, and decide according to our own laws and protocols.
Sandy Lake entered a limited agreement allowing Frontier Lithium to explore for minerals on our shared lands. This was an exploration agreement only — not approval of a mine. Frontier entered into similar agreements with Deer Lake and North Spirit.
North Spirit, Deer Lake, Sandy Lake and Keewaywin agreed to share information and help each other in dealing with Frontier's proposals.
Chief and Council appointed Team Sandy to understand Frontier's proposals and ensure Sandy Lake can make a fully informed decision.
Team Sandy and Chief and Council are sharing information with members. No decision has been made. Sandy Lake remains in control of its own future.
Sandy Lake will not agree to anything without being fully informed first.
Sandy Lake's lands and waters are central to our identity and way of life. Any engagement with Frontier must address environmental protection first.
If Sandy Lake chooses to proceed, it will be on terms that deliver real, lasting benefits to our members — not just promises.
Sandy Lake will decide once we have full information about both impacts and benefits. Decisions will be made according to our own laws and protocols.
