ManitobaManitoba is ten years behind most other mining jurisdictions. They should have gone to map-staking after F.H. retired because no one in the department knew the regulatios, knew how a claim should be staked and knew every trick a company might be willing to play to get a claim. Even in these new investigatios F.H.'s work will be front and center. The Manitoba Mines branch does stupid things and does not learn from their mistakes. The support staff is great but the clowns running the department need to be pensioned off to avoid more lawsuits.
