Hutch . It was Royal Oak, they settled for C$166,000,000 for the "Geddes Minerals property" that they got with the Geddes buyout. So far there has been one other settlement with BC, the complaintant asked for $3.2 million and as a result of the "BC Gov. dragging its heels, an arbritrator awarded the complaintant the $3.2mm and a further $3.5 million for a "delay penalty". Total compensation was$6.7 million. The delay was "2 years" from submission. Rock Resources RKR -VSE has had a $15,000,000 claim outstanding since 1995, and the government has now appointed a representative. If it doesn't settle quickly, then they will schedule a court date before the end of the year. Here's hoping the Gov. digs its heels in and this thing goes to arbritration!!! Sorry for the RKR plug!!! the Chief

Hi Hutch Royal Oak Mines (they went to court and received some compensation however they also moved their office out of BC along with many other companies) The same govt also scr** Alcan at Kitimat. Mining companies may just as well give up for now and concede to idiots in government and radical environmental groups. 20 years from now those same people would be demanding development to help reduce the cost of a $20 aluminum beer can or bottle for that matter. regards, Terence Mitchell PS. I don't intend to add to the debate other than comment. Tobin is an horses ass for his negotiating tactics. More people might agree if all of a sudden DML finds the end of the rainbow and they have to deal with the same silly ***
