"I also have to assume that the proposal that reached him was by those 4 communities." Says Edgy. Wrong assumption, Edgy. -----Here are the facts: The proposal that reached him (Rickford), was the Noront bankable economic Feasibility Study (FS) given to Rickford in December 2014 in a December/14 Mining Association meeting in Ottawa. This was the template for the infrastructure plan that Harper, and then Rickford had been asking Ontario for, repeatedly ( Wynne and then Gravelle), to submit for many weeks as a standard loan application conditional starting point for receiving Federal Infastructure Build Fund-funds. Then Gravelle finally submitted the Infastructure Build Fund application paperwork along with the Noront FS plan, (long a public document), and the Mattawa FN communities (for which Noront had already secured EW Mattawa corridor agreements). Then the Rickford/Gravelle photo-op pics; the PDAC Rickford multiple announcements; and here we are today:- per Cupcake, and many others: - no ON consulting report (one year, and counting); - no ON DEVCO details or substance, (almost one year and counting); - no ON EA decision on one plus year ago submission, and counting); - no permits of any kind (roads, drilling, FN winter road work permits denied (Marin Falls); - no ON pre- permits; - no ON-Rae deliverables (after 2+ years, and counting); - no ON infastructure funds despite "$1B no strings attached" --- a one year old election promise; Etc, etc Just getting it right, Ed.
