RE:RE:MORE B.S
RE:RE:MORE B.SWith all due respect lou64, I believe this line was a misquote:
"Exploiting the biggest value in the ring of fire – chrome – will take a little longer, as the company has to build a smelter to process it, also in Sudbury."
The nickel would go to Sudbury smelter(s)....as of now, the Chrome to SSM
Not to say that could not change. When Cliffs was involved, the chrome smelter was to go to Capreal...which is just outside of Sudbury. Noront's Sudbury option had the smelter going to Coniston...which is very close to Sudbury. In the end, Noront has chosen the Sault...for the chrome.
The mayor of Timmins has suggested that Noront will not be the operator when the final decision is made. Given Noront's market cap, I'd have to agree.
For now....the base case for the chrome smelter is the Sault though, from which an economic assessment could be formulated.
