Cliffs had better get a move on and cinch this deal. They have to get the properties and development going fast before the competition wakes up and gets in ahead of them. The one who will succeed in this area is the one that can lock things up and quickly.

If 1 company can control the market by being in production first, it can deter others from doing the infrastucture required to compete. There is lots of chromite no disputing that. Enough to flood the market to fend off competition. There is a market for North American chromite..good grades little processing good skilled work force, stable geopolitical policies, excellent source of investment capital.

If Cliff's chooses to dilly dally and penny pinch here they could get badly burnt. NOT has Chrome, PRB has chrome, and BMK have chrome. All are small enough to take out. Nowes the time for CLIFF'S to apear generous.
