Be prepared..IMO it is going to take another 2-3 years for everything to be put in place...EAs, roads, automotive industry retooling, electrical infrastructure, retraining, EV incentives and funding, IBAs...In that time a lot can happen with Noront's board structure, discoveries, partners...and most of all, their true value to Canada, other countries, and yes...Other mining companies. Not to mention how important they are to the big picture; panoramic perspective. This 2-3 years also follows, oddly enough, Noront's projections for the Eagle's Nest; 2023 - 24. Funny...or is it....Hmmm.
Our government, and our First Nations are onboard...There may be complaining from some First Nations, but not because they are opposed to change, or don't understand how all of this can benefit them. Instead, they are either frustrated by their lack of inclusion in the deals being made, or envious of others whose fortunes are changing faster than theirs. But mark my words...Everyone is on-board. Each day that goes by there are more and more people getting on this electric train...and by that I am talking about the move toward greener energy, and addressing climate change. Wherever the critical metals and minerals are to make that happen they will be found, and developed....Responsibly.
Here's a prime example of something small that you can add to the list of other initiatives being spearheaded across our country. All pointing toward what is coming...I firmly believe Noront is going to be a big part of the changing landscape.
Remember. Don't spend your time trying to subtract what Noront doesn't have and start adding up the things they do, and all the things happening here in Canada, and the rest of the world. This will effect your overall calculations. I think you'll actually find 2+2 adds up to more than just 4.
