RE:RE:Goodbye Norlisk nickel, hello Northern Ontario nickel IMO people know CNC needs money as no junior mining company can go into production without help (unless you have like 100-300 mill in cash, which we don't). We are using new technology to make some very good high grade nickel out of low grade deposits. However to my knowledge no one has done this before (or at least to the scale CNC claims they can do it). If CNC can get a big name miner (glencore, vale, etc.) as a strategic partner, it confirms that the company is on to something revolutionary.
if CNC announces some strategic partnership with a financial institution rather than an industry expert, it shows that the "big mining boys" don't believe CNC can pull off what they claim they can do.
To me it could go either way, and even if they don't finalize a deal with a big miner, as long as they can go into production sometime next year and prove to the world they can deliver on their promises we will be alright.
But that's the risk, we're trying to do something different and naturally there's some uncertainty surrounding us. If a big name miner joins us then it's only a matter of time before production starts.
