Putz, I talked to JS yesterday. He said they are not trying to meet any deadlines related to weather. They want financing yesterday 'if they had a choice' (paraphrasing). They are just waiting for some things to come together (I assume that could be costs?) and for the other side/s (financier/s). He did not discuss when as he is prohibited from disclosing anything related to a date. I respect that and am patient since the ball is too far down the field on this project to fail.
It is obvious that certain things have to get accomplished and go in a certain sequence. Since we are not privy to all the steps in the process it would be helpful to study up on the step 1, 2 , 3 of financing a mine. I believe I sent a post out a while ago that outlined the details of how to get financing or building a mine. I will do my best to find it but after years of posting, it wont be immediate. If someone finds it, please feel free to re post.
Going forward, it is not a matter of IF. It is now just a matter of WHEN. Too much has already been accomplished to turn back the clock or stop this project from moving forward IMO. There are proven resources. There is demand. There are off takes contracts signed. There are willing land owners and local support. Senate hearings, NioCorp minerals made it the Fed critical list, engineering, local, state and federal govt support etc. and There are companies out there with BIG BUCKS looking for a good return on the investment.
