this will all be worked out, NAK has something like 25 tribes who are approving of the mine, with this one outlier, which will definitely negotiate and remember, we just announced revenue sharing even while the mine is being built, an unprecedented move historically....
so this will all get done. plus there is always Eminent Domain or reconfigurating but this will get happily done odds are 99.99 percent imho. The State of Alaska needs this mine desperately and they have recently said so and the governor and the state environmental officials are 100 percent behind it. Heck, they want it built tomorrow and have almost said so, saying that all secondary permits will be expedited.
