RE:How do you “Get the Lead Out?”
Okay, none of this good. BUT Cantex would be an underground mine, shipping ore to a smelter, probably Trail, BC. There would not be a heap leach pond that could fail.
First Nations do not have any final say, they only have a right to be consulted. Yes, it is best to stay on the best side of the tribe, if possible. But they DO NOT have a veto.
By the way, the Yukon is not a province; it is only a territory. It does not have much REAL power under the constitution either.
Get rid of the Liberals, put in a pro-development federal government, add in some pressure from the USA for development of germanium deposits, and chiefs of little tribes that laughingly posture that thet want to "deal nation to nation" might get a dose of reality!
