RE: core samples - troubleThe language is from the MVEIRB press release of Feb 25 (I think it is on their website):
"The Review Board found that the proposed project is not likely to cause significant adverse impacts on the environment or be a cause of public concern, as long as Tamerlane Ventures implements all of the commitments it made during the environmental assessment. If the Minister does not object within ten days of the Review Board's decision, the project can proceed to the regulatory phase run by the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board"
Not only is the Minister extremely unlikely to object, he is very likely to urge MVLWB to issue a Land Use permit immediately.
