By going to dry stack which the SEACC will probably approve. I know Coeur thinks wet tails is lower impact, and they may be right, but can they get it thru? What the SEACC rhetoric says is its the methodology they object to. If they can go on paper that is all they are objecting to, then fine. I don't like the 9th court's upholding of the challenge. The challenge whether in good faith or not, does not supplant proper permitting. I can see the challenge if there were something amiss, but there was not, so the court is in error. What the court seems to accept is that there thinks is that might be something wrong with the Army Engineer's reports. This is probably not true and in if it is not demonstrable I fail to see how the court can uphold it. Many of these challenges are just thinly veiled politics upheld by sympathetic judges. Ditto the 20 year Indian caution on the Temagami land in Ontario. There was little legal justification for it, but you have to realize that it was a thin edge of the wedge foray by the Trudeau gov't into settlement of land claims. No constitutional basis, as they issue had been visited many times before. The real question to ask is, are the SEACC members sincere or is this just a legal manoeuver in their quest to stop mining? If they will sign a quit claim on a change in tailings disposal methods, then fine. I think the mine fears a thine edge of the wedge thing here, as it is no always possible to dry stack all tails. Some mines are too low grade to stand the extra cost. EC<:-}
