I remember NOT indicating that they could remove ore via a slurrey line. I would suggest that this is still a possibility even though rail infrastructure would be the ultimate. I'm not saying that this is the way that they will go, but if economics were feasible and to start sooner than later were the order of the day, this would keep NOT on schedule and very much the leader of the pack and the spear head of the ROF. I'd sure want to be part of that. However, being that cash is king on any level it's likely they will bide their time like everyone else and try to get someone else to pay for the "limo".

....but it would be pretty cool if they got together with a few other parties and shook the tree....take a little wind out of the political sails. There again...will political interests stall permits in addition to infrastructure to attain their end?

We wait to see

....but I wonder if the Liberals will take an aggressive stance, recognizing how they are being played, and make an announcement. If they do, then the F.N. may be motivated towards acting in good faith and the tumblers will stand a chance of clicking into place.
