While a year round road into the 'ROF' would dramatically cut exploration costs and therefor desired not likely to be in the works for a year or two. Noront's nickel deposit isn't going anywhere and will be enlarged and added to by other finds this year. Then the number crunching, planning and deal making can start.
For Noront to have a bankable feasibility study out this year is really pushing it. To important not to take their eye off the ball which is security additional resources in the area. By the time mining takes place the recession in USA will be over and likely nickel prices much higher. Look at Voisey Bay, price of Nickel when taken over was a lot less than when put into production.
Noront are going full tilt towards proving up more resources as are others in the ROF. Stands to reason that soon someone will hit more rich resource. In the meantime Noront has Windfall which is highly likely to be much bigger and more valuable than even the good surface drill cores indicated.
Genuities target of $7 isn't hogwash and investors holding as well as those buying should smile before end of this year. Longer than we want to wait but a few weeks or months isn't long considering potential return.
