Toxic and poisoned relationships Hubris or just ego. Chuck went ahead with Metalex's U2 diamond project without consulting with Attawaspikat FN. The Ontario Ministry put it on ice for processing the permit for two years and eventually approved the bulk sample application and the water permit. However, by then, the First Nation said Chuck wasn't interested in discussing the Cooperative/Benefits Agreement and the ice road application was roundly rejected by them. Despite Dundee willing to finance $51 million costs for the project, the deal subsequently died on the vine. No road, no diamond mine.
It appears the same situation is happening again with FNNND. At the AGM 2 years ago, Chuck said he has engaged a third party to talk with the First Nation about the access road. Too late now. You can stick a fork in this turkey.
