RE: RE: RE: RE: What are the Japs going to do If you think trucking this bulk ore to a mill is going to be cost effective, or even a sure thing, think again . The municipality and the people living nearby would be much against being inundated with the excessive truck traffic en-route through their communities. Wear and tear on transport vehicles the first 100 kilometers across an extremely rough gravel and logging road, the Maniwaki, would only add to the huge costs . It's over a hundred kilometers just to the Quebec/Ontario border. Then another 250 kilometers to the nearest mill that would require extremely costly retrofits to separate and process HREE's. Better take the rose colored glasses off.
