The only obstacle ANX faces is the one of achieving.... .... what I will call "critical mass" ; they're unfortunately, still of a size where they're viewed as a "hobby miner" and not much more.
Where is "critical mass"? Maybe still a quarter or two away. They need to start setting their sights on some of the other nearby players there in the Maritimes because sooner or later, someone is going to realise that the Maritimes needs to be turned into a sort of "Super District" and managed that way.
That "someone" could be Anaconda, if they play their cards right and are willing to pound the table a little.
