Gee that is wonderful. I don't think anybody can expect the hoped for loss of expected profits. Losing the diamond by not being able to mine it is not part of the NDP's concept of a loss. Wasted time and frustration is hard to quantize in their febrile brains. What they are saying is "We put a low nuisance value on your time and expectations of worth if you are interested in going mining." What is very instructive is WHERE the gov't wants to put parks and WHY. It is consistently where there are good minerals and forests and rarely any other place. They wait until minerals lands are developed and mines are found and then they strike. Their reasons for developing parks are not predicated on wildlife research and fauna or habitat but on such nebulous claims as "scenery". Everyone trusted the NDP again. The first time the NDP struck they put 130 mines out of business in BC in the 70's and 80's. Their roving band of socialist morons have wandered about the political fabric of Canada like a migrant cancer hassling industry with punitive taxes and draconian regulation that they pander the rights of, bogeyman style, to the mouth breathing electorate who read with one finger. So who would vote for the NDP again and again? It is an interesting excercise in voter masochism. The sad thing is that the the Liberals, Socreds and Conservatives are no better. The liberals in Ontario were the most repressive of mining with loosing the gov't regulatory dogs on the explorers. The Conservative now are pursuing the green path with "Lands for Life" that is steadily eroding only the good minerals lands for park status, assiduously avoiding tracts of granite. The solution? When you vote, avoid all the above parties. Vote for a man, if and only if he has never practiced law or has any degree in law or political science or sociology. Vorte only for men who have worked for a living or owned a successful business that did not bill more than 25% of its revenue to the government. EC<:-}

Hi CIMA. Look who made the statement...if it was a mines person I might be irritated, but it s the head of the NDP "tree huggers association, "Sabine Jessen, executive-director of the B.C. branch of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Association". She and her organization were the ones that responded to the tree-huggers and went in and expropriated the properties. Rock Resources was on of a very very few that paid for an independant audit of their properties. The independant audit was done in 1995 by KPMG and was based on "present" mining valuations. Rock than went out and had an independant geologist do the same thing, the evaluations were literally a clone of each other. According to my sources, Rocks presentation and package to the BC Government is one of the best, or the best. Rumour has it that out of the 80 claims only 5-7 actually performed an independant audit. The ones that have a complete package will be handled first!!The remainder may take a long time to get compensated because of inadequacies of their proposed settlement. Disclaimer As always do your own DD. These are the facts as I understand them, at present. the Chief
