So far, no one has said any of the companies are building roads, we are just jaw-boning the idea around.

Noront and the other ROF companies are not looking to take over responsibility for building a public road to the area. They are looking at the road as a means of hauling out high-grade ore for shipping to smelters south of MFL.

If we wait for the governments to get around to building the road, we will all be long gone. They have been making just enough noise about building a road there to keep everyone believing that they are considering it, but that is all. No one can identify any attempts to survey the route yet, and that is a major kicking off point for the construction of any road.

Timber companies have been able to build low cost roads that allow the extraction of logs. At an estimated $90k per km, the cost of our access road will be about $30 million. Peanuts.

This is based on a road southward. what about a road to the east, passing by Debeer's diamond mine? This road would be shorter and could terminate at a railhead, or a sea port.
