1. June 9, 2026 proposal High confidence

   Ksi Lisims LNG announced benefit agreements with Lax Kw'alaams, Gitxaała, and Metlakatla, and two Nations withdrew federal court challenges.

   The agreements reduced a visible litigation obstacle, but private terms and the absence of a final investment decision prevent the announcement from being counted as project ownership or executed project capital.

2. June 8, 2026 judgment High confidence

   B.C. Supreme Court quashed the KSM project's substantially-started determination because consultation with Tsetsaut Skii km Lax Ha had been inadequate.

   The decision showed that a project milestone can fail even when a court does not reject the regulator's substantive project reasoning, if consultation with an evolving rights claimant was legally insufficient.

3. January 26, 2026 permit or approval High confidence

   Skeena Gold + Silver's Eskay Creek project received a B.C. environmental assessment certificate, a federal impact-assessment decision, and a Mines Act permit with Tahltan consent.

   Eskay Creek became the first project authorized through a consent-based decision-making agreement under section 7 of B.C.'s Declaration Act. It is a practical test of consent as a project-governance mechanism, not only a policy aspiration.
