Noront Appeals Mining Recorder's Finding of KWG Prior Staking

"Koper Lake is an important amphibious aircraft facility for the Ring of Fire and the area used for landing and docking is within the eastern boundary of these claims," said KWG President Frank Smeenk. "In the past our exploration crews have been blockaded there, or embargoed from landing there, or been levied substantial landing fees. We believe that this necessary part of the area's transportation assets should be operated as a public facility. From this sprang the concept of a federally sponsored Port Authority. Accordingly, we are hopeful that the Provincial Mining Recorder's Order will be upheld so that we can now assess the mineral potential of these claims and add their surface endowments to an integrated transportation network for the area. This is as contemplated by the 'Northland Development Corporation Act' that we provided to each candidate during the Ontario election campaign. We hope that those candidates who are now members of the legislature will encourage their cabinet colleagues to adopt the Bill."
