Constantine President Garfield McVeigh recently admitted, as reported in the CVN, that the Canadian stock exchange requested revisions in information provided by the company to investment websites. Potential investors were being misled by statements that there was a paved road to the land they are exploring in our valley for the Palmer Project. As we all know, there is no such paved road.
McVeigh’s letter to the CVN last week attempted to distract us by referencing the mine’s Preliminary Economic Assessment written by a consultant that was not even part of the securities complaint, and by making accusations against a long-time Haines resident who is rightly concerned that the Palmer Project is likely to pollute our watershed, as virtually all sulfide mines do. Constantine claims this mine could operate without damaging our rivers and our fishing and tourism industries. Should we take their word for it?
