last summer to visit my nieces husband who works in Sparwood BC at the FORDING COAL MINES as a geologist. The coal mines run parallel to the hiway up the mountain slopes. I could not beleive how far I went on the hiway looking up at the coal seams. 100% of the coal extracted (open pit) gets shipped to Japan. Talk about a cash cow. Teck recently bought in for I think 10%. Tonight as I read the not and fwr news releases of the last month or so, I cannot get it out of my mind at how similiar a future chromite mine on fwr/not land would be very similiar to Fording coal. If our chromite property runs for 14 km as they perhaps say it does between the 2 companies, then this will also become a cash cow for not/fwr. Our minerals could be shipped all over North America and abroad. A major will definitely be taking us out !!!!!!! remember, open at depth and lenght!!
