The Tsilhqot'in Nation will seek an injunction of its own to prevent exploration work from proceeding in the vicinity of the proposed Prosperity gold and copper mine 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake.

The move follows a request for an injunction the mine's developer, Taseko Mines Ltd., filed two weeks ago to prevent Tsilhqot'in members from obstructing the work.

Both applications will be heard on Monday at the Law Courts in Vancouver.
