B-Jay it is CLF trying to push KWG around, not the other way around.

They could have chosen the more economic deposit they share with KWG to begin mining. They didn't because??

They could pay to buy the right of way along the esker from KWG. They haven't because??

They could build a road to the west from the ROF if they choose.

CLF has money problems presently. They don't have the cash to finance the ROF development they hoped to undertake, and the longer they stall, the more likely someone else will step in and finance some of the needed infrastructure.
