Re the ROF, urgently needed results from the above dated way back in July 20, 2010 have not materialized.
What's especially needed is Grand Chief Atleo with Frank Smeenk & PM Harper being seen actually accelerating the ROF NS RR by soliciting readily available funding including directly from the USGS, with or without CLF being involved, except maybe helping CLF divest their ROF assets.
The mega volumes of high grade ROF Chromites & many other ROF Metals can then be called ORE and, as such, encouage many more ROF type ORE discoveries in Canada's North.
Canada's economy should not be allowed to stagnate and as such job growth for all shoiuld be accelerated.
