Aboriginals oppose Cheviot coal mine near Jasper National Park
The Smallboy Camp with 160 members near the proposed $250 million Cheviot mine vows court action if federal approval proceeds. They seek to block mining in the Red Cap area where they claim a 1,200 year presence and file a $50 million damages claim against the federal government. Local company officials say the claim covers 35 to 40 percent of the mine and pledge to continue talks. Environmentalists decry the project as environmental rape and federal approval remains required.
