"I have a gut feel that a major may well take both cliffs and NOT out as well as Probes chromite,before all is said and done and by this summer latest."

I wonder how that would be done as I don't believe the Cr, Ni. etc are necessarily discretely deposited. It's not like they can transfer land over to them with just the Cr on it and nothing else, but I imagine a deal could be struck to transfer ore.
