Alberta refinery site option for the NICO project expires There's been some interesting chatter about Fortune Minerals and their NICO project lately.
As you know, their option to purchase a refinery site in Alberta expired on June 30th. This is obviously a setback, but some folks are wondering if it might be a buying opportunity.
There are mixed opinions on why the option expired.
Some speculate Fortune Minerals might be aiming for a better deal under $5 million. Others are wondering if there are financing hurdles for the project as a whole.
The good news is Fortune Minerals is still negotiating with the seller for a new agreement. Their recent funding wins, including government grants and convertible securities, could help them secure a new deal.
What do you all think?
Is this a temporary bump in the road, or a bigger issue for the NICO project?
Will Fortune Minerals be able to land a new refinery site agreement soon?
