Shore Gold Inc. has reached agreement with the Red Earth Cree Nation to gather information on aboriginal traditional land use and traditional knowledge in the Fort a la Corne diamond project. This information is to be used in preparation of Shore's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Star-Orion South Diamond Project, which is located in the FALC forest some 60 kilometers east of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

"One objective of EIA is to understand the impact the project may have on traditional uses or spiritual or cultural sites of importance to aboriginal people who view the forest as part of their traditional territory. We respect and appreciate aboriginal rights and the need to accurately inform government regulators about the impact Shore's activities could have on the environment, including any impact on aboriginal uses or sites,” explains Eric Cline, Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Shore Gold.
