THINGS TO PONDER1 - Website should see a new resource update ?
2 - Yukon Gov't = Minto Mine ( opportunity ? ) is approx 360 km
from Shaw location.
Versus shipping cons by truck 480 km to the Port of Skagway Ore Terminal

3 - PFS speaks of 2 power sources ( Yukon electricity + LNG )
extremely costly. ( were both expenditures used in pfs or, just one ? )
4 - Zoom in - Shaw location
Surrounded by water = Turbine water power = electricity or hydrogen
Power costs would be lowered considerably.

5 - River Turbine

6 - Green electricity or green hydrogen from river
No need for co2 seq in magnesium
Shaw could noe factor magnesium as a mineral credit
7 - Peer comparisons
How is it... ValOre produced an incredible concentrate with
similar minerology - yes, they too have to deal with the Mg. ( 19.7% )

March 14 2022 press release ( ValOre MET results )
I wonder if ValOre demagnified the ores prior to flotation ?
8 - Shaw should revamp their flowsheet ( 2 feedstocks )
Crush, Mill, pull magnetite 25% mass with - 30% - 40% PGM's
Demagnetize ( roast ) then float
= iron credit + PGM con basket
2nd feedstock - remaining 75% feedstock
Roast to magnetize = allowing iron magnetics to be the workhorse
exploiting the iron bonds with various metals
once extracted - roast again to demagnetise then, float.
= iron credit + PGM con basket
9 - somwhere between these two feedstock processes, configure the
iilmenite iron / titanium. Since iilmenite is a major mineral.
10 - Canada ( Fed ) is offering 40% tax rebate for hydrogen.
Might qualify if project is pitched with - no co2 produced.
These are a few things i would do.
Streamlines entire project.
Fast tracks.
Maybe... ncp will adopt a few ideas ?
Who knows.
Cheers...
