Oh oh!!! here comes Tonto
1--Chuck Fipke has already discovered that mineral title means nothing here if the local aboriginal communities are not consulted and persuaded to become part of the exploration and mine development process. The community at Marten Falls has apparently retained a law firm called Olthuis Kleer Townshend whose Kate Kempton has a passion for troubling the waters and has helped make life miserable for a junior called Platinex Inc (PTX-V: $0.36) that would like to develop the platinum-palladium Big Trout Creek deposit in western Ontario. On the other hand De Beers has shown that it is possible to work with native groups to develop the Victor diamond mine in their backyard at a cost of $1 billion
2--On the negative side, the brief but convoluted ownership history will surely spawn its share of lawsuits. The discovery is also less than 20 km from the Attawapiskat River which is part of a 400 km long provincial park that will attract its share of environmental activists
