Siegfried,

I think you missed my point.

The comparisons are:

Treaty nine, they have the goods, good potential for a supplier for the EV battery market, ultra hammered low share price, missed timelines for a feasibility study, FN traditional land.

I brought up the Noront road issue to show you the complete 360 degree change that happened in a two day period by the involved FN chiefs. You had to watch the video yourself to appreciate it.

You mention in your post:

."Not to mention that Zen had engaged Mr Brian Davey from the Constance Lake First Nation on board since day one with on going dialoques."

So what? What's your point?

Noront won an award for this stuff.

You wrote:

"Albany deposit is within close proximity to all the major mining camps in Ontario."

And as far as being close to access roads...so what? Yes I know (In the case of Zen an all weather road exists approx 4km from the deposit)..but what about the 4km you need to construct?

You think this is some sort of a guarantee of not having problems?

Check out Canadian Zinc. 

CZN has also signed two Impact Benefit Agreements ("IBA") with two First Nations Bands providing strong local support for the Project's development. In January 2011, CZN signed an IBA with the Nahanni Butte Dene Band, situated approximately 100 kilometres southeast of the Prairie Creek Mine. The Nahanni Butte Dene Band are the traditional stakeholders of the land around the Prairie Creek Mine. Later in 2011, CZN signed an IBA with the Liidlii Kue First Nation of Fort Simpson, NWT, located approximately 250 kilometres east of the Project. CZN also signed a Socio-Economic Agreement with the Government of the Northwest Territories later in 2011. All of these agreements are in place to provide economic benefits and opportunities to the residents of the region and can be further reviewed in the Agreements/ Support page.

They too are close to access roads but....at the end of the day you need to build a road from the mine to the access road....and this when the fun "can" start.

You figure you've consulted with the nearest reserves from day one, done everything right that you possibly can and then ...reserves can suddenly come out of nowhere and mention that this connection from your mine to the access road will ....bother them in some way...and they too...need to be consulted.

But, once the agendas are complete, things will get less ...abrasive.
