About Lac Seul First Nation Lac Seul is located approximately 38 kms North West of Sioux Lookout. The First Nation has a large land base, which is bounded to the north and east by Lac Seul Reservoir. The First Nation is made up of four (4) communities, Kejick Bay, Canoe River, Whitefish Bay, and Frenchman’s Head. The Lac Seul First Nation is the oldest reserve in the Sioux Lookout District of INAC. The reserve was established pursuant to Treaty #3 through adhesion on June 9, 1874. By 1912, there were at least 45 homes along the shoreline of what is now referred to as Kejick Bay and Whitefish Bay. The lake was the main transportation route, an important source of food and the main vehicle for Economic Development. In 1929 Ontario Hydro constructed a dam at Ear Falls to produce Hydro electricity to feed the mining development in Red Lake, Ontario. As a result Lac Seul was flooded and to this day, the Ear Falls Dam controls the lake level. Lac Seul First Nation’s traditional territory encompasses the Red Lake District. The current issued and outstanding capital of AurCrest is 42,413,147 common shares. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: AurCrest Gold
