To do this right next to the best cutthroat stream in the province is a terrible idea. We've been trading the environment for jobs for quite a long time now and we've pretty much out of stuff to give away. A great trout stream for a few jobs (and a private mining company will net all the profits) in an unstable industry seems like a really bad trade. Like Doug Gilmour for Gary Leeman level bad. |
Your link does not provide the data you want it to provide. The link talks to thermal coal profitability. Ram River is a coking coal mine. Do you know the difference between coking coal and thermal coal? Last I saw, coking coal was valued more than 3 times that of thermal coal. Steel cannot be made without coking coal. From the spoon you feed yourself with to the truck you drive, needed coking coal.
