Sudbury the value is even more impressive when chrome from blackbird is added in.

During the fourth quarter of 2008, Noront’s management committed the funding necessary to identify a chromite resource at Blackbird. Management’s objective was to define a Measured and Indicated chromite resource sufficient to support a 200,000 to 225,000 tonne per annum ferrochrome furnace for 15 years. At then current prices, Noront management estimated that a project of this size would generate approximately $500 million in revenue per year.
The close proximity of the Eagle’s Nest nickel-copper-platinum-palladium deposit, the Blackbird chromite deposit, the Eagle Two nickel-copper deposit and the Triple J gold deposit now being referred to as the “Eagle’s Nest – Blackbird Complex”) provides a unique opportunity whereby all FOUR deposits can be potentially accessed and developed from a centrally located shaft.
This central infrastructure will radically reduce the environmental footprint of the project area and will eliminate the operational and geotechnical uncertainty and capital cost associated with open-pit dewatering dikes. An underground mine at this location provides a stable, climate controlled work area that can easily be operated year-round. Our work is presently conceptual in nature but we, as a management team, believe that there is excellent potential in this centralized approach to reduce operating and capital costs and to minimize our environmental footprint.”
