Uranium Samples at Robertsville
Re: Frontenac Ventures Corp
Comment: Mississippi watershed is destined to become polluted from the core samples
The government of Ontario and Frontenac Ventures Corp (FVC) have both stated that they will protect health, safety and the environment.
So, why did MOE and MNR allow FVC to power saw rock formations on the shore of Gibson Lake and Black Creek to obtain uranium ore samples?
This was done using a diamond saw on the west side of Gibson Lake on FVC mining claim No. 4212226 and GPS coordinates N 44 54 09.5 / W 076 42 57.0. This was also done on Black Creek on private property at GPS coordinates N 44 53 59.0 / W 076 43 10.0. Both flow into the Mississippi River near Snow Road Station.
We should ask ourselves: “Where did the saw cuttings and contaminated saw slurry end up?”
If you are going to protect lakes and streams from exploration and mining, why would MOE and MNR allow this to happen? The provincial Ministries and FVC tell us that they will protect the environment and water, but in reality, mineral development takes priority over the environment in Ontario.
Attached are photographs and map locations where samples were taken last August 2008.
A can or bottle or any other refuse left on a shoreline is considered littering and is against the law. But, apparently this law does not apply to uranium samples cut from the rock on shorelines.
If FVC’s project continues, I fear that the Mississippi watershed is destined to become polluted for us and for future generations to come.
