One should consider foreign owned State Gold companies from either Russia or China, depending on what specifications Noront needs from these companies, who have billions of dollars to spend, should no suitable Canadian gold suitor be found for whatever reason. Also on the political front, this might be good for business as the US might just want to buy in before any communist states do for National Security Reasons.
Why not ask Tesla, or Musk to buy in directly. For whatever reason, gold, chrome, nickel stainless, that would be an amazng day for Noront, if ever that were to made public. Lets see Tesla stock at $350 US, NOT stock at .35 CDN. You do the math.
