He said the company now planned to ship semi-finished product via its proposed railway, through Quebec, to the St Lawrence River, from where it would be able to reach global markets. Depending on the offtaker’s requirements, KWG would also have the opportunity to add other by-product metals, such as molybdenum and nickel to the final product, to increase its value. This way, another significant provincial role-player would be brought into the fold, enhancing the RoF’s associated economic benefits. Bake into this equation some of the cheapest energy in the world and low-cost long-term capital, and one has the makings of an economically viable project, Smeenk noted. KWG believed that trading Canadian produced chromium billets – reduced by its patent-pending natural gas reduction technique in Nakina – for RoF rail infrastructure with the Chinese and KWG, would allow Ontario to put its budgeted C$1-billion dollars into First Nations service roads and social development projects to provide a turn-key solution that would help kick-start Ontario's economy. Smeenk noted that China had about $3-trillion available for foreign investment, driven by its strategic need to secure future resources. “Securing long-term access to minerals is important for the Chinese, and investing in a railway line to get product out of the RoF is a long-term investment, fitting the vision and ability of Chinese investors,” Smeenk said."
