RE:The Canadian Critical Minerals StrategyA quick review of the strategy revealed the following:
1. "cobalt" was the third most mentioned critical mineral (17x)
2. "indigenous" was mentioned 159x
3. "processing" was mentioned 35x
4. by this strategies definition, NICO is a "priority mineral deposit"
If the Federal government is looking for a quick win, given NICO's advanced project status, vertically integrated valued added plan creating good jobs, good engagement and relations with the Tlicho community and significant green economy demand for the deposit's minerals, Fortune Minerals looks like it has the makings of a poster child. Considering that the strategy has now been published and all the various forms of funding assistance available, it should not be long before they have their day.
