SUDBURY NOVICE YOU WROTE:

"Al Coutts told the Sudbury Chamber of Commerce that concentarate from the ROF will be sent to Sudbury for Smelting. If I understood him correctly this means the concentrate will first come to Sudbury when it leaves the ROF and before it goes to the Ferrochrome Smelter/Refinery. So it makes absolutely no sense to send the smelted ore out of Sudbury for further processing. This leaves Timmins, The Soo & Thunder Bay out of the running."

Al Coutts was speaking about NICKEL Concentrate. Please see below.

Four northern Ontario cities —  Sudbury, Timmins, Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay —  are in the running to be home to a ferrochrome smelter which will process chromite from the Ring of Fire mineral deposit.

But Noront Resources Ltd. CEO Alan Coutts says the first minerals out of the ground will be nickel concentrate, to be processed in Sudbury.
