Pulling out all the stops.

Aurora Energy Resources have gone high tech PR in its consultation process on its proposed uranium mine in the area it would seem.


The phone rang last evening. On answering this woman all bubbly effervescing with a whinny southern twang to her voice proceeded to ramble on non stop [don’t let em think for a second] about how Aurora representatives will be having an open house tomorrow evening at 7 at xx there will be people available to answer all your questions please feel free to bring all your family there will be refreshments [the magic words] can we count on your presence.

I offered a brief response and hung up the phone.

CBC HV-GB this morning is reporting that a large portion of the population surveyed in Makkovik is against Uranium mining in the area. Click on the interactive map on AER web site and you will see why the concern.
Of those that responded to the survey 70% are against any mine. Of the youth survey, 32 responded, out of those 72% were against the mine.

According to Aurora this 'consultation' process will take about three years before any decision is made to mine or not.
