This whole saga of who is going to build a railroad and mine and roads is very reminicent of other major projects we have seen before.  The start of such projects requires a bold visionary, like KWG, to jump start the process.  Even though they lack the capital to build any part of the ring that hasn't stopped their ability to stirr the pot from time to time.  The above announcement is very good news for kwg.  In terms of making headlines, Noront has a lot to learn from kwg.  That being said, which ever company has the ability to attract big capital money from the capital markets will ultimately acend to be the real king of the ring.  Marten Falls however has shown a propensity to hedge their bets.  

I am looking forward to seeing Teresa Louongo in China with Frank Smeek, the Chiefs of Marten Falls and the Senior Management of FDSI in the next mining minute in mid-May.

Keep up the Good work Frank, 

Alan , are you seeing this, lets have an announcement of of our own, its over due.
