Tough Site, Tougher Rules--Safety gets priority over everything!

摘要

When you hear about someone building a mine at a remote place like Canada's Baffin Island, the last thing you think about is 'security.' After all, it is 3000 kms due north of Montreal and who's going to steal anything from there? Furthermore, should they try, it wouldn't be too hard to track their getaway because the only way in and out of the site is by plane and everyone up there is tuned into air traffic just the way Herve Villechaize ("Tattoo") was on the television show "Fantasy Island." You know, "Look boss, da plane, da plane." Seriously though, the Mary River Project on Baffin Island is a major iron ore deposit being developed by Baf-finland Iron Mines Corporation (TSX: BIM) of Toronto and because of the iso- lated, rugged site, they have made 'security' a top priority.
