You're absolutely right, Auminer. There are natural circumstances that produce hexavalent chrome in the environment, but they are rare, clearly defined, and well understood to occur only in the tropics. And also only under severely seasonal rain/dry conditions? Anyway, not relevant in a sub-polar wetland.

If they want to determine if the Ring of Fire environment might produce hexavalent chromium contamination, all they'd have to do is sample water and sediment above the chromite deposits. That should answer the question once and for all. If glaciation and erosion and environmental exposure to the chromite for approximately one billion years or so hasn't caused a problem, why should we expect any problems during mining?
