- the COBALT projects (2) for USD 565 million SOUNDS LIKE the CAPEX for the NICO mine and concentrator + the metal refinery in Alberta - the 20 years MINESPAN also FITS IN with the NICO PROJECT z173

It's one thing to invest in CM projects of Cobalt, bismuth and copper and it's another to invest in a deposit that has all of the above and to boot the unique Nico deposit that holds the gold to pay for it all. If FT is not one of a kind what is?

- it is NOT the NICO MINE that is the PROBLEM - it is the DESOLATE and REMOTE LOCATION in the NWT that is NOT EASILY ACCESSABLE with the PROPER ROAD and ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION GRID CONNECTION - GOVERNMENT SUPPORT for the ALL YEAR ROUND SURFACE TRANSPORT and the ELECTRIC POWER INFRASTRUCTURE will LEVEL the PLAYING FIELD for the NICO PROJECT DEVELOPMENT z173

Surprisingly Quebec has the huge Dumont mine Ni-Co-Pt-Pd deposit owned by Magneto LLP that has the permits. It can be compared to the best Ni-Co reserves in Congo as it's Co resevres as a by product are estimated at a whoping 394 Mt compared to FT 82.3 Mt. Exploitation of Dumont has yet to be announced.

- YES, I AGREE with WHAT you have POSTED - however, GOVERNMENT SUPPORT TRIMMING $ 100-150 million (?) OFF the TOP CAPEX LINE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES the RATE OF RETURN on the NICO Project INVESTMENT - the CRITICAL FLAW in our HISTORY has BEEN the COLLAPSE of the INVESTABILITY of JUNIOR MINING companies and the TOTAL INDIFFERENCE towards us by the LARGE CAP MINING RESOURCE CONGLOMERATES z173
