The company’s timetable is to start construction of its Eagle’s Nest nickel-copper deposit first, beginning in late 2019, followed by the Blackbird chromite deposit.

The chromite would be trucked and railed to a ferrochrome processor, which is scalable to become a bigger operation if world stainless steel demand dictates that Noront needs to bring its larger chromite deposits into commercial production.

Noront intends to make a “modest” entry into the North American market with the small Blackbird deposit. The 500,000 tonnes of chromite mined annually would convert to about 200,000 tonnes of ferrochrome, enough to serve about half of the U.S. market.
