There are too many cooks in the kitchen in the ROF. Plain and simple, we need more consolidation. Every issue can be solved, or at least solved easier if these companies would just get together and merge already.

The big three...........first nations, infrastructure and financing.

Without question these are the 3 major hurdles we need to overcome. Problem is, NOT, KWG and CLFs all see the solution/s from a slightly different point of view. Someone needs to go. Any consolidation would render a massive amount of leverage in dealing with FN and government, as well as a financer. Afterall, would a chrome miner really want 500 different chrome mines operating? NO. Noront seems to be the least needy of consolidation simply because they're the only ones with such diversity in the their mineral portfolio. Either way, these guys need to suck it up, hit the boardrooms, and play nice.
