"Our government should also be chiming in here, because many investors have a right to know if First Nation consultations are being met, and by whom, and if they've been successful. Critical to the deal."

Think at this interval the deal is primarily for mining claims and nothing more.  Wyloo or BHP cannot simply start running bulldozers clearing path for the mine.  It has to be negotiated.  EA's for roads have already been commenced which did not and will not involve any mining company. They can and will I'm sure start with negotiations to start a drilling program and update resource estimates to determine the viability of a mine and whether that is only Eagle's Nest or perhaps, what has been suggested, chromite at the same time with the claims close to Eagle's Nest.  When the process to start mine(s) construction which is year's away and entails actually needing to access the land then the FNs will come into play negotiating their economic requirements and governments may to assist with the infrastructure. That's when some implied value of the ROF will be more defined and the share price will start at least to reflect a more bankable value.The last thing imo wanted (and I don't think there is any legal ground) is government imposing themselves into a free market negotiation that hasn't even been finalized. They may after the deal is completed have a say in whether it's acceptable in the interests of Canada due to a foreign owner.
