Pretty much the same thing in the U.S. Towns have been flooded for dams, and houses are moved out for freeways. They can tie things up in the courts though - here in Southern California the city of South Pasadena has delayed the completion of a freeway for a long time. In terms of mineral rights, most people don't have a clue who owns them for their property, but somewhere somebody has the option... -jeff

Bruce, Since the sulphides typically have a density 5 or so times greater than the surrounding material, why would a connection say between TG1 and TG3 not show up in a gravity survey? Would this suggest that the connection is down fairly deep? I presume there is some sort of 1/d or 1/d^2 relation at work (d=depth) with the gravity survey. If Teck had two or three 100 million ton deposits separated by a kilometer or so, would they drop some deep drills from the surface to explore a trend, or is that something that typically waits until reserve expansion of an existing mine? Especially if Teck (for sake of example) had many other interesting targets to explore. I guess the accessability of the drill sites might have some impact, but let's assume it is just flat farmland type area. Thanks and regards, -jeff
