Have a read of this doc posted on Noront's site.  Amazing read.  Points of view of the gov't and Noront.

This passage is especially interesting....intentions are clear.

The Government of
Ontario and the Government
of Canada are putting a lot
of money into developing
the infrastructure, we’re
talking probably around
CAN$1 billion when it’s all
said and done, to develop
this mining district and what
they’d really like to see is all
that value-added uplift of
taking the Cr ores to FeCr in
the province of Ontario.
For that reason,
we’ve made plans
to not only mine the
deposits but also
to construct a FeCr
production facility on Great Lakes
water in Ontario to
produce the FeCr
product to serve the
US.

Hopefully our government stands on guard for thee..and says no to the AUSSIE. They will be careful in what they say though... Takes time to come up with a plan...Especially when you have a guy like Forrest telling you your business...and how to do it. Bloody rude...
