Action Alert! Still Current!

Executive Secretary, Wisconsin Resources Protection Council
Tell investors that this proposed open-pit, metallic sulfide mine next to the Menominee River has no “Social License to Operate.”
Aquila Resources has proposed a large, open-pit, metallic sulfide mine a mere 150 feet from the Menominee River, a major Lake Michigan tributary that forms the Wisconsin-Michigan border and flows into Green Bay.
The mine footprint is located on the original Tribal Homeland of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. The Tribe is concerned about the pollution of the Menominee River and the destruction of sacred sites.
According to Aquila’s January 2018 Investor Presentation, these are the major institutional investors in the Back Forty project:
Osisko 15%
Orion 14.3%
Ruffer 12.2%
Hudbay 10.5%
CALL TO ACTION
It is important that we make investors aware that the proposed Back Forty project faces growing opposition in Wisconsin and Michigan. One of the greatest risks to mining investors comes from ignoring community voices and their environmental and public health concerns. This is called a “Social License to Operate.” Investors need to know that Aquila does not have it.
Please contact the following primary investors to inform them that there is growing opposition to the proposed Back Forty mine and that Aquila does not have a Social License to Operate:
