Gravelle Not Worried About Cliffs Commitment to Ring of Fire

Ontario's Minister responsible for mining isn't overly concerned that Cliffs Natural Resources is temporarily suspending its environmental assessment activities in the Ring of Fire in northern Ontario.

Michael Gravelle says these sort of challenges aren't unusual in a major project like this one.

The mining company says delays and uncertainty of land rights forced them to suspend their environnmental assessments.

Gravelle says talks will continue between the mining company and the Ontario government.
