I strongly disagree.
Chromite represents quantity and that is where the value and hence interest comes from that.
However that is not the only criteria.
I say what is needed most is what is most important. Noront's nickel ore and mine is
what is needed first. It is the easiest, quickest to implement and needless to say safest to environment.
But that does not mean no.1.
What to me means no. 1 status is return on investment.
Nickel ore beats any chromite deposit in the Ring hands down.
As for merge with KWG at this time would only tie up Noront with chromite issues when Noront does not want to be linked with them. To many investors chromite is still a negative issue.
The reason Noront shares are worth about 30 cents right now instead of just pennies is the nickel ore and prospect of the nickel mine being built in much shorter time than anything connected with chromite.
KWG may need Noront Now but that is not so in reverse. Noront needs the EA and an all season road and can take care of remainder by itself.
Merge yes but at a much later time when most chromite issues appear settled, not now.
