Item 8.01. Other Events
On December 17, 2010, Thompson Creek Metals Company Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on December 16, 2010, it received a copy of a Notice of Application filed in the Federal Court of Canada by the Nak’azdli First Nation (“Nak’azdli”) seeking a judicial review of the decision of the Canadian Minister of Industry approving the Company’s acquisition of Terrane Metals Corp. (“Terrane”). The acquisition was completed on October 20, 2010.
Nak’azdli claims that the Minister failed to consult adequately with Nak’azdli before approving the acquisition. The Company is not named as a party to the judicial review and no claims are made against the Company. The Company intends to take appropriate steps to participate in the judicial review to the extent necessary to ensure that the interests of the Company are protected.
Although the Notice of Application states that Nak’azdli are seeking a variety of remedies, including setting aside of the Minister’s decision, the Company does not believe that this judicial review will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
