RE:RE:Gibralter LayoffsA little snippet for the mushrooms "In the pit is low-grade ore so there is no need to take off the overburden. Normal circumstances require the company to give notice of intent to do so by filling out what is called a notice of departure with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, Cobb said, noting however regulators have decided this now requires more than a notice of departure, saying an amendment to the existing permit is needed which requires a process of consultation. Cobb said the process of consultation started in May 2020, with numerous extensions and no decision has been made yet. I dont know where to go from here, other than send a letter to the minister stating our disapproval of the process, Cobb told council. Thanking the mayor for the update, Coun. Scott Nelson said it hits the heart. This is $7 million of lost opportunity. You are talking about 60 families being unemployed, in the next couple of days that should not have to happen, Nelson said." " Process of consultation" started may 2020.... Wonder who they have to consult with? Thanks for the heads up on that, while we may be mushrooms, we have sources that can open windows... KW
