There were a lot of diverging opinions expressed, but one common theme agreed to by virtually everyone in attendance Monday night was the process to upgrade the province's Mining Act is taking place way too fast.
"We really need a lot more time ... our group was adamant about this," said Mike Gordon, who works for the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. He acted as a spokesman following a roundtable discussion as Timmins hosted the first of several Mining Act public consultations Monday at the Howard Johnson Inn.
"This process is happening way too quickly."
The meeting - the only one planned near Timiskaming - was attended by 60 prospectors, developers, mining company representatives, private property owners and citizens at large.
