irish,

Many thanks for posting the 2 videos. Just watched them. The presentation by Al Coutts was quite good. He appeared a lot more at ease compared to the first time he addressed the audience after one week in the job. He appeared confident, unpretentious (folksy) during his presentation.

It's a long presentation, but quite comprehensive:

- First priority: He went over a lot of details on the proposed Ni mine. A must watch for a summary of what has been going on. An interesting tidbit: All waste will be stored underground due to the extra space (cavern left behind from UG quarry operation to get the aggregates for mine construction)

- Second priority: Chromite, planning a a "small-scale" high grade UG mine (some 2M tonnes/yr) in conjunction with the Ni mine, due to its proximity to Eagle... chromite deposit is some 500 m away from the Ni deposit.

- Exploration: He has in mind further exploration. There are a lot more to discover on NOT extensive collection of claims in the RoF. Other companies may do the same once the infrastructure is in place, starting with the E-W road as proposed by NOT.
