RE:The 200 million Whati roadThe road was not out there just for a few hundred people, but it sure looks good to say. It's certainly there to maximize opportunity to near term projects, beit FT mining, other exploration or hydro, but certainly to open the area for tlicho benifits.
The diamond mines are at end of life and everyone knows it and is scared of later impact, drawing too much attention at this time, to the real reasons only allows environmentalists to ramp up. So yeah I don't doubt there is thinking done that we don't know about. It's now there, the road is there performing well and is significant the the area development.
bottom line the right amount of initial money, followed by that financing, puts FT in production in +/- 3 years ? In this CM BM situation NA faces...( where reportedly users are scrambling for NA sources) .....there is simply no other like it in NA
and I agree with Jim, big boys waiting to see what initial fed or other money this project attracts before jumping in. Disappointing and can't happen fast enough for us ? Yes ...but it's the way of business
we wait....
