Gravelle Visits 'Ring of Fire"


Ontario's mining minister will visit First Nations communities this week near the potentially massive chromite deposit known as the Ring of Fire.

Michael Gravelle's trip is aimed at reassuring the communities they will be properly consulted as the province seeks to develop the mine.

Grand Chief Stan Beardy of the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation warns it will take more than lip-service to ensure development can go ahead.
