Of course, you're bang on with this question. The answer is that the road isn't for Noront's single nickel mine. The road is to open up the entire Ring. Officials estimate that as many as a dozen mines could be working in that area within a decade if it was opened up. So to say that spending money on infrastructure to support a single mine is not financially viable would be correct, except that it wouldn't be for one mine.
MD Yes maybe there will be other mines operating but how many are gong to be able to use the EW road. Sorry to be throwing water on your camp fire but Chromite appears to be the number 1 resource in the Ring of which the EW route would not be able to accomodate due to the weight of the ore... so we're back to square 1 that spending money on infrastructure to support a single mine is not financially viable until of course maybe other nickle mines are found also within the Ring.
