Ontario Mining and Lands Commissioner should have allowed easement but also said 'You kids should go back to the sand box and work out an amicable agreement to serve the Ring and surroundings.' Why? Who lays out mining claims in a straight line? Only exception is a known fault along which is ore of interest. None exists except perhaps for some gravel. It is obvious that the claims were made to tie up a path for transportation and will not be drilled. Transportation that should belong to the province and not to any private interests. As for a road or rail line going through my mine's proporty, the more the better, because it not only serves me but shortens my path of access to it, hence lower cost. Next other users should pay for the usage of my land. As for interfering with my access to my resource, a road or rail way does not need a kilometer wide path but at most 10 meters wide. So it could not take a path a few tens of meters to any side? Kids making a lot of noise in the sand box for whom I have little patience.
