Platinex's Muskeg Mischief

Well we thought we had seen the last of Platinex in Treaty No. 9.
But it was not to be.Platinex has staked a lot of new ground in the
McFaulds Lake base metals area play in Matawa territory.

Makes cynical minds wonder: what's or who is behind this deliberate act
of provocation.

No doubt Platinex knows that most of the Matawa communities are
represented by their old nemesis in the KI litigation Olthuis, Kleer
Townshend.

Are they flying a false flag and acting as the stalking horse for a
major? Perhaps their old association with CVRD (formerly Inco) is at play.

Or is this another deliberate act of provocation intended to spoil the
Noront party at McFaulds Lake and spread misery to the entire junior
mining sector?

The Platinex principals and their advisors are bona fide "indian
fighters" who know that no First Nation will welcome them with open
arms after they ran the lawsuit that led to the jailing of the KI6.

They are well and truly industry pariahs, a rogue corporation careening
dangerously out of control.

Or maybe not. In the backrooms maybe they are saying to Minister Bryant
and co. Please pay us to go away or we will continue to make trouble. After
all the Mining Act gives us the right to stake claims under the free
entry system; all without any notice or consultation with First Nations.
Legal and above board.

Deliberate provocation? Wonders of free entry?
