The courts ruled in Feb 2016 that Canada Chrome (KWG) (or anyone else) DID NOT have surface rights on the claims it staked to secure the ‘high ground’ on the north-south route for a possible railway corridor to the ROF.  Canada Chromes (KWG) appeal was rejected.

KWG was invited on August 9, 2019, by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (the Agency) to comment on its acceptance of a Project Description for the Marten Falls Community Access Road Project (the Project) submitted by Marten Falls First Nation (the proponent), to which the Company made the following response: 

"To ensure the economic feasibility of our interests in the chromite discoveries in the Ring of Fire in northern Ontario (by enabling their access to markets), we staked contiguous claims from locations near Nakina, Ontario, to the Ring of Fire, which was completed prior to the Far North Act’s promulgation. Our consent to the use of those claims will be forthcoming to any application that enhances and does not frustrate that purpose. The Supreme Court of Canada declined to interfere with the Ontario Court of Appeal’s finding that we may not withhold consent to uses not offending our rights under the Mining Act, leaving intact the requirement for our consent to uses which could offend our rights under the Mining Act.
