By far, the best article I have read yet, and for once no mention of the never ending phrase "GETTING IT RIGHT" . I think with all certainty that the new catch phrase should be "STRIKE WHILE THE METAL IS HOT". I say this because the metals we are talking about here in the ROF are showing a gradual up swing in price on the world markets, which is predicted to continue to at least 2018, if not longer. Investors and analysts alike know this, so do the FN and miners, so why is the government dragging its heels. The more mining, the more jobs, the more money, the more tax revenue; no brainer guys. Personally, I always felt the government was going to give in, with Ontario eventually getting its 2 billion $. Of course not all at once; IMO. Any further promises by the levels of government I see as investment initiatives, which will come in the order of 100's of millions here and there to cover infrastructure as the ROF evolves, with specific attention to the FN so that they do not get the sense of being left out at any given time. All said and done hopefully by 2016-2017 we can all reap the rewards of our high metal prices (specifically Nickel/PGM), maybe see a smart government for a change who continues to fund the ROF, a secure FN revenue sharing agreement that is fair to miners and the taxpayer, and a very healthy NOT sp that keeps us all in the green.

Cheers to the future.
