Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle is confident the mining activity will move forward in the Ring of Fire, despite recent delays.Good for him.

That was the day Cliffs announced their delay .

Then Tony Clement went on television and said this could take to between twenty to fifty years to get up to full speed.Watched and listened to him saying that as he correctly compared the ROF wealth potential to that of the Alberta oil patch.

Personally i hope he`s wrong with his timeline guestimate and it happens a little quicker.

If i could find the link to his interview that i watched on CTV Sudbury a week or so ago,while he was talking about the ghost town that is Capreol,(as all longs know,where Cliffs was planning on building the smelter)i`d post it.I can`t find the vidio,but it`s out there.

Don`t kill the messanger.
