NioBay Metals may be about to lose its flagship project in Ontario. The company late last night announced that it has received a letter from local First Nations groups indicating the opposition to the development of their James Bay Niobium project.

This is what's behind the actions of March 17 2022. They were in posession of those survey results for weeks. To be honest the survey was conducted poorly and with >10% of the 3500 voting members participating. Ridiculous. Be assured 100% of the anti mine lobby voted. It's not over if the Ontario and federal governments really want a critical metals and battey paths technology to exist.

Sorry <10% participated in the survey. I suspect the MCFN saw the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines New Release yesterday act acted to shut down exploration and used the poorly done survey and the Wetham Road incident as a tool in that purpose.

So when you have such a small voice assuming it was a survey and not voicing their opinion then the outcome lends itself to becoming hijacked by the most ardent - mobilized

Another claim MCFN is making towards NBY is that they set up a base camp without pemission and refused to take it down when asked. When you allowed NBY to start drilling they have to set up a base camp. You need to house and support people in that process. When you give permission to drill to also give permission to set up a base camp. No? When you ask someone to take down their base camp it
