Cliffs Natural Resources just got decked by the Ontario government, jeopardizing its Black Thor chromite project.

Via Mineweb: “U.S. mining company Cliffs Natural Resources has lost a key land dispute over a proposed highway, which could put its Black Thor chromite project in Ontario’s Ring of Fire in jeopardy…one of the land surface rights issues was building a proposed highway to the wilderness area without the consent of junior explorer KWG Resources, parent to Canada Chrome Corporation, which staked claims around the route with a plan to build a railway, instead.”
