Perhaps you have not been reading the news coming out of S.Africa with their economic problems. Many capable people have left the country. To the point that I will hazard a guess that the main interest of the Chinese, who are major buyers of south African chromite , is to have alternate sources.
I will also guess that with S. African problems Canada could be the cheaper source of chromite even without KWG's gas process.
Finally, we all hark about how the media and politicians are all chromite focused, so what are we doing at this time talking on this forum about chromite?
Nickel ore is sweeter and right under our nose, and not that other product, Hallo?
