I believe 2020 will have a lot of long awaited questions answered. Such as Greg Rickfords comments earlier this year about how he would like to have an agreement with First Nations put togother ,and an access plan update by late 2019 or 2020 (his words). Also we have Aecom with thier project they were hired for  (wrapping up next year).

Noront cant be too transperant and excited until the powers that be make some decisions and put ink to paper. Ive said this before that Im amazed how juniors operate with a negative balace sheet but with 85% of the claims in the ROF they've got one hell of a bargaining chip.

"We are taking a fresh start," said Rickford in correspondence, obtained by Northern Ontario Business, to each of the nine community leaders in the Matawa First Nation tribal council.

"This new approach will help address the unique interests of individual First Nation communities and opportunities to support development of a road to the Ring of Fire."                                           _____________________________________________________________________________

"We are very pleased to note that AECOM brought a consortium of sub-consultants together to form a world-class team that includes local consulting firms as well who have recently worked successfully with First Nations to deliver similar all-season community access roads in other provinces,” said Achneepineskum in a statement.

Marten Falls views the road as a means to food security, improve housing, education, and economic development opportunities.

“This project is an opportunity to move forward on addressing many socio-economic needs of the community, including access to more affordable food and housing, access to training, education, health-care and employment and access to neighbouring communities."
