RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:activityCanada Nickel, also in Timmins, is in the same boat : wait, wait, wait. I think the ministry assigns someone to work with a company rep to finalize the applications so they pass.
I suspect the Galleon company rep may have been the late COO Timothy Smith. If so, the new company rep would have needed time to get up to speed.
Engineers with Smith's qualifications don't grow on trees. Yes, the coffeeshops in Timmins are full every winter with experienced miners. Trouble is, they're all my age - had my first underground job in 1970.
They need the right person. You don't hire someone off the street to start an underground ramp. The CEO has his own jobs to do.
