Writer referred to 3 mining giants....don't think in anybody's definition you could classify Noront or KWG as "giants". Cliffs could be a mini-giant I suppose. Reference to Tony Clement being appointed by Harper for federal Northern economic intiative and represenatations/calls on Peter Kent mean the feds are in this. McGuinty, Hudak and Horvath will make this an election issue for sure. The spotlight will shine directly on the RING in the coming months. Keep your powder dry..its going to be an interesting and potentially prosperous time for all players in the Ring of Fire. Meetings/presentations in Sudbury and Thunder Bay later this month with the participants focusing on the transportation issues will light the spark and hopefully clarify the optimum approach - hopefully rail using the KWG route put forward.
