A far-from-friendly exchange of words at the annual Vancouver Resource Investment Conference in 2020 has resulted in a lawsuit being filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Janet Lee-Sheriff, the chief executive officer of Golden Predator Mining Corp., claims that a Yukon government official berated her in front of attendees at her company's booth. Among other things, the official allegedly called her a liar and told her husband to "get your f**king wife under control."
The allegations are contained in a notice of claim that Ms. Lee-Sheriff filed at the Vancouver courthouse on May 14, 2021. The suit names as defendants the Government of Yukon and the territory's former chief mine engineer, Paul Christman. The case centres around statements that Mr. Christman made during the Vancouver Mining Resource Investment Conference on Jan. 19, 2020.
According to the suit, the problems arose as Ms. Lee-Sheriff was telling a group of attendees about Golden Predator's Brewery Creek project in the Yukon, telling them that the company held a mining licence, among other things. Mr. Christman challenged the statements, accusing Ms. Lee-Sheriff of spreading misinformation about the company's licence, the suit states. The manner in which he did so, as described in the suit, was far from polite. He loudly stated, "you lie, you are a liar," according to the suit.
