j"Going completely private still requires approval of the BOD and shareholder vote."-Navi

Agreed, Navi.

Patience, please, ..> real long term shareholders. 

Remember that it is  "Retail" shareholders who own the desciding %control share of Noront RoFire' 95% etire claims. Also remember, Ontario NDP provincial voters (espec. N., S., Ont. wannabe job creating   manufacturing know-how hubs now, and the  the next century of Canada's future.

Premier Ford is a proven businessman; political leader, and a bulldozer driver too.

And also, ....that Canada's steel, auto,  manufacturing industries are also lacated in Hamilton, Saul St. Marie, Windsor, and Oshawa,.....> all in  Ontario. 

Ontario currently has Almost 50% more population than Canada's second largest population: Quebec (15.8M vs 8.2M for PQ. Canada is 38.5/M).

Time for Ontario to be the descider of this currently too long Fed. controlled Noront shareholder control "debate".
Ontario based owners should decide this "secret negotiation  crap".

The current halfbdecade lack of of foreign capital investments results in Canada requires Provincial juridiction control input on the Noront "control" share vote.

Take care ot the coming voter/shareholders of Noront. It will be a win- win - win  decision for all owner entities innthe R of Fire.

Not just my opinion.

This is for Canada, and my grandkids now. Peter
