RE:RE:Weird question Miner, your not alone in that camp. KWG has been courting the Chiefs of the Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations for about 8 years now - https://canadachrome.com/kwg-proposes-partnership-with-webequie-marten-falls/. With the bits of news that has come out, it is quite evident that something is going on. Without the route ( https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca/050/evaluations/proj/84331 ) the Ring of Fire has no real mineral value.
As we all know, KWG holds the surface rights to the proposed route and the aggregate claims to help build the route. see pages 9 and 10 for a refresher on the Cliffs/KWG route battle https://www.sedarplus.ca/csa-party/records/document.html?id=a79749214fd191efbb4cb811f369ead3d51e984683e91f3b5acc4412c211fb62 . There seems to be alot going on as of late. below are the links in order.
