RE:RE:Canada Announces Funding to Support Domestic CMs in NWTInteresting picture that accompanied the government funding announcement - I might be mistaken, but it looks like Robin assisting hooking up ore samples to have them flown out from the NICO site.
Also this government press release conveys all the right messages and alignments of FTs NICO project with the governments CM aspirations, lining FT up for money from the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund and, shows that Minister Wilkinson is fully aware of this, e.g.
- enhance the production of cobalt sulphate and bismuth ingot products
- increase the supply of critical battery metals
- optimize processing conditions while ensuring that residues from the process are stable for safe disposal
- develop new expertise, create job opportunities for skilled trades and professional occupations, including Indigenous communities
- advance the development of dynamic and competitive critical minerals value chains through an innovative new processing technology
