Uranium Samples at Robertsville Re: Frontenac Ventures Corp

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.

4) MOVIE: CHERNOBYL HEART

Chernobyl Heart is a 2003 documentary film by Maryann DeLeo. It won the Best Documentary Short Subject award at the 2004 Academy Awards.

In the film, DeLeo travels through Ukraine and Belarus with Adi Roche, the Irish founder of the Chernobyl Children's Project International, observing the effects of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster on the health of children in the area. In addition to mutations and severe radiation poisoning, many children suffer from a previously unknown cardiac degradation condition, so common in the area it is known as "Chernobyl Heart".

A must see movie! http://www.guba.com/watch/3000049921

6) CCAMU SUPPORTS THE OGLALA LAKOTA FIRST NATION IN THEIR FIGHT WITH CAMECO CANADA

Greetings,

Here on the Pine Ridge Lakota Homeland we are opposing uranium mining by Canadian owned corporation Cameco and Powertech.

I have attached our Environmental Justice publication in PDF format to share with you our struggles down here to protect our sacred water and resist the worlds largest uranium producer.

We have filed with the NRC to oppose Cameco and have an upcoming hearing on Foreign Ownership contention. There is more info in the publication. Please share the publication as you see fit.

Please keep in touch, and be strong.

In solidarity,

Debra White Plume, Owe Aku (Bring Back the Way)
