Good morning Joe,

This upset in the world economy has forced each and every one of us to re evaluate our situations, our positions, our finances and frankly some may have decided not to invest anymore. As we do our own evaluations the Canadian Government is also doing some evaluating. Hence the TFTSA TFTAs. They will also re evaluate the road situation for jobs and access which will be to all of our benefit.

Time to take what we know of many of the North Amarican Mining Majors - most of which are no VALE's, Rio's, BHP's, Nor Russian, SA, or Chinese Majors, but they are all very respectable in size and ability (Mining, Exploration, and ability to raise the cash in any Market condition) and ALL do seek the BEST of the BEST and like Very Safe Jurisdictions they live and work from.

You make very good sense in this paragraph Joe and it reverts back to the first paragraph of this post. Many majors are also re evaluating their situations.

It is my humble opinion that this may just turn out to be a North American play. CLIFF has re evaluated their situation. They see the value in owning their own deposits. They also see the resource, enough of which could start or put Canada/USA on the list of chrome movers and thus a new aspect to mining on this side of the ocean. They are also intending on expansion for this reason. It appears they are taking a very close hard look at the chrome and the fact that no matter what happens in the world, they will have what they require to keep their profits coming in. This is a big deal. The fact that we have hydro and anything else they may require also helps.

Lets hope that CLIFF is the trigger mechanism we have been waiting for. The shot that will be heard by other Majors and jar them out of complacency.

I must reiterate that nobody has yet told me or posted that they new of the CLIFF/KWG deal. Very very quiet. Do yo see how quietly the elephants walk? Watch a moose run through the bush. They can be very quiet if they want to be, antlers and all.

At least we know that contrary to what we are being told. I say this because many times someone has asked including myself if any majors have been sniffing around. Even though they lie and say NO, we now know that they are circling.

Silence is my enemy. I rely on noise to make my investments. NO noise? I'm lost. Now we have noise and I am found. We all are.

Great posts by all of you. I hope to meet many at the PDAC.
