TORONTO (CP) — Every- body talks. about the mineral |riches in northern Canada but, says Murray Watts, no one wants to do much, about them.

Now, backed by an arctic iron ore deposit recently described by Northern Affairs Minister |Laing as the best in the worid, |the 55-year-old prospector hopes a breakthrough is imminent.

His three-year-old ‘discovery on Baffin Island may be the | lever.

“It wasn't too. many ars ago that people thought of Tim. mins as wilderness,”’ he said in \@ recent interview. “But when |they discovered gold there, the country was opened up and people started living there.

“It may be the same, now. jim the Arctic.”

Because of the richness of the ore, there would be little trou- ble in finding customers—if it jean be shipped out. That's where some imagination and understanding of the Arctic '|s |meeded, says Mr. Watts, who | first ventured there prospecting 33 years ago

He makes no bones about his teeungs that Canada has lost valuable time by not exploring the north and ways to develop it.

“If you want to get informa- tion on Arctic shipping, you have to go to Denmark, Russia or Norway. Here we are. “ith these resources in our country, | and our shippers say the season | Up is three weeks others work in similar \eonditions for three months.”
