management changeI for one would like Russ to be judged for what he has done. Gibraltar was a non performing mine which is now the 2nd largest copper mine in Canada. It has been on budget, on time and performing extrememly well. TCM got Milligan permitted working with MLIB- which is pro business, signed off on treaty 8, and runs it's own construction contractor which benefited from the mine.
Russ is up against an anti everything, warlike, group that are merely gunboating their position in the hopes to get more of the returns at the expense of their own members,who are mostly in support.
The farce of the situation will be resolved in court, as the lead "academic" on the JRP is a stooge of the enviromentalists, and his blatant mis use of the facts, as per Knight Piesold a world leading engineering firm, will become so apparent as to restart the whole process. Harper won't be aware of this but soon he will be. This will open up the feds to a lawsuit, which will fold their hands. Remember the province is a ok, and even Harpers own back benchers leveled scorching commentary on their own party about this.
It will be a go. New management sometimes works when the existing people are terrible, but in this case, better the hard nosed, efficient devil we know.
