No mention of Noront because it has a smaller valued deposit of chromite and the nickel deposit is not chromite. The comments were by people with their eyes set on chromite so everything else is out of their attention.

Are you paying attention to Noront's Thunderbird, Vanadium? Nonexistant by comparison.

Which would you be focused on?

1. Tens of billions of dollars spread over 70 years (Chromite) or
2. ten billion $s over 10 years ( Nickel ).
Over look the simplification of this comparison. Mind you the 10 billion is likely to be producing first with fewer problems.

Most reporters do not see the easier and less problematic money but only the larger $ quantity.
Problem reporting sells papers and garners viewers.

We are dealing with plain human nature which is often faulty.
