It certainly a possibility down the road but with so many properties, targets and different companies involved in the McFauld Lake area play it must be hard for a major company to know where to start jv. The key for them will be to take over the company with richest and largest deposit. They can pay over the odds because then they'll be dominate in the area and following deals will be more on their terms.

Going to be a race to prove up deposits and so far only Noront is even in the race with others still on the starting blocks.

SPQ has such a maze of relationships and targets of opportunity you'd think they'll be involved down the road but have to find something good first.
