Now to place the ball back in play, with a clear shot at the goal. Bill Mauro is the Minister of Natural Resources. Gravelle held this position until 2013, and is now minister of Northern Development & Mines. This ruling gives Mauro the power to make decisions about a railway or a (hypothetical) road, rather than Gravelle. Which means we will likely see something "done right" other than waffle words.

'The application for an easement to build a road has never proceeded and KWG will now put before the Minister of Natural Resources the details of the railroad feasibility study to be undertaken to insure that surface tenure may be assured as an assumption in the study, that the consolidated aggregates may be mined from the claims to provide material for the railroad bed, and that the claimholder's priority to consolidated aggregate is maintained.'
