Have to agree. We have waited for 2 levels of government to come to the table and both sit on the side lines waiting for some junior mining company to suddenly open the Ring and let them step in for the glory and the tax take. It is not going to happen.
In my opinion there could be significant progress if Noront decided finally that KWG is not just a thorn in their side (as I believe Cliff's tutored them to think prior to selling them their ROF assets), but maybe more of a very valuable pertner in development.
Both have strengths that would make to the union stronger than the individual entities. We need everyone at one table ,talking progressively, positively, and with a combined voice to make this a reality.
All IMHO Wishing
