BC government had to pay https://thenarwhal.ca/bc-blueberry-river-agreement/
the blueberry tribe 65million. BC needed the locally drilling oil and gas production flowing so that prices at teh pumps and heating for houses dosnt get out of control. So the government stepped in.
how do you think a copper mine or exploration company will fare? Government won't step in for copper I can assure you that, copper dose t affect the day to day living of its people. I can assure you we will wait for eons before the natives allow drilling. And when they do eventually all drilling, they will want money. It's going to be a very expensive lesson, we will have to give the natives a portion of this company as well. They will want a peice of the pie (dilution of the worst kind). I'm keeping my 30000 free shares just to see what happens, There worth nothing anyway.
