RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:It appears that the new shiny ROF shovel wil have to wait... Question Johnale...why would you state:Chromite wasn't on the radar for noront up until a few months ago, and now all of a sudden, they want to build a smelter. Ha!
It is very clearly incorrect huh?
An updated Blackbird chromite NI-43-101 resource estimate, completed in March 2012, tripled the previous 2009 estimate and showed a 44 Mt resource with grades in excess of 35% Cr2O3, and chrome-to-iron ratios of approximately 2.0. In addition, the chromite mineralization at Blackbird remains open along strike and at depth.
Initial metallurgical test results indicate that a marketable high-grade chromite concentrate product with grades in excess of 50% Cr2O3, recoveries greater than 80%, and chrome-to-iron ratios greater 2.1 could be produced at Blackbird.
