The Federal government is handing out 87-thousand dollars to two groups to
allow them to participate in the environmental assessment for the Griffith Iron
Ore redevelopment project in Ear Falls. Wabauskang First Nation is receiving
50-grand, while the Metis Nation of Ontario is getting 37-thousand
dollars. Both groups will be able to review and provide comments on the
Environmental Impact Statement and draft Environmental Assessment
Report. Northern Iron (Corp.) is hoping to reopen the once prosperous Mine,
with hopes of cementing a 20-year mine life.
