Thanks rook for your answers.
As promised, here are mine:
Grades and Tonnage:
I first thought this was going to be a mine just from eagle1 (my mistake)
That wasn´t your "mistake", because nobody knew how many tonnes of mineralized material were down there.
But who said this is not economical to mine ? The first 43-101 on Eagle 1A showed 3M tonnes with high-grade material which (probably) would be mineable under certain circumstances (higher ore prices, infrastructure (partly) paid for by government and/or other RoF players).
Obviously, I was very excited with the mineralization down deep (B+C) however, I am concerned of the grades, that's why I'm posting the question on tonnage.
Don´t understand your concerns here, because grades were improving @ 1B with latest results (and even the start with #49 @1.2% Nickel average was not too bad) and 1C did show similar grades as 1A (average over 2% Nickel).
Until we know more about tonnage with further drill results I would say, we have a more than respectable "grades situation" here (compared to many other deposits anywhere in the world).
As far as Not mining it themselves, I have no idea if its possible.
Neither have I, but officially Noront is going that route. My opinion is, that this is a scenario to show the big guys that they will have to make a move at some stage rather sooner than later.
it's hard to trust this BOD. I just wish that Wes is as good as everyone hopes he is.
Me too.
Thanks again for your comments and I hope, mine did provide some relevant points for you.
