I thought way back that Xstrata needs fresh resource in a friendler environment and Canada with the Ring seems to fit them to a tee, Ontario's electricity rates being a cautionary hold back.

If they are considering Noront's chromite then it would also be logical for them to swallow Cliffs chromite. Together these are a substantial investment and Xstrata would need some serious thought before they would bite.

I think that they are aware of both and may be considering just that, question is IF and When.

Cheers, Ed.
