A tad more than 20 cents I am afraid. Probably would have been a good buy. Canadian mining is a mafia, and you won't submerge its tangled web of connections that easily.

The non-unionized mine, featuring so-called "state of the art technology," opened in 1991 near New Glasgow, N.S., despite widespread warnings that it was unsafe and dangerous. The 26 miners died in a methane explosion at 5:18 a.m. on May 9, 1992. The blast was so strong it blew the top off the mine, more than a mile above, and knocked out steel roof supports throughout the mine. In the nearby towns, windows shattered and houses shook.

Neither Frame nor any of the other political or corporate figures was convicted of any crime in the wake of the tragedy.

Frame, now involved with a company called OntZinc, has applied to reopen another closed mine near Elmsdale, evoking memories of the Westray mine.

However, MLAs in the provincial legislature unanimously passed a motion on April 15 opposing his company's application, and specifying that Frame should never again be entrusted with responsibility for the safety of Nova Scotian miners.

John Hamm, the current Tory premier of the province, has asked two cabinet ministers to examine Frame's role in the Westray explosion when they review his latest mine licence application.
