Not cold enough for the Winter Road; a problem that will get worse as the years go by. Watch out for prospectors wanting money to build mines that rely on Ice Roads to transport mining equipment there.

'Earlier this week, the Tlicho government in Northwest Territories (NWT) restricted the movement of commercial trucks for a few days on one of the winter roads due to anticipated warmer weather across the North Slave Region.
While diamond production remains unaffected, the delay underscores the challenges that companies face as the mines that make Canada the world’s third-largest diamond producer come to the end of their productive lives.
It also highlights the infrastructure hurdle for the NWT and Nunavut that are positioning themselves as the next frontiers in the exploration of critical metals, such as rare earth, cobalt and lithium, in the transition to a greener future.'
Evi,
The gold may be worth billions but processing it and cleaning up after the processing will cost even more billions. I rate the story as a mouldy nothingburger.

RE: Breaking 40p28 Dec 2021 10:18
Finally the big week has arrived and it's the final week of the year. Deal due to be announced over the next three days.
40p and a very low market cap of only 27 million. Not much downside once the deal comes this week from here and it would be nice if we finished this year at 70-80p. I think 401 or 301 deal will be announced in early 2022 as well.

What happened to that deal 'due to be announced over the next three days'? Some might say that seeing the value of their investment collapse by over 90% since your post above that they have indeed suffered from a 'life changing opportunity' to lose most of their money invested here.
And, is your 'genuine view with the products we have' based on anything other than what you have read other posters post?

The seat-by-seat analysis shows Tory prospects have hit a record low and they are on track for their worst election result, winning fewer than 100 seats. Labour would win 468, giving Sir Keir Starmer’s party a whopping 286-seat majority.
The 15,000-person MRP poll, conducted by Survation on behalf of Best for Britain, puts Labour on 45 per cent of the vote share with a 19-point lead over the Conservatives, up three points from the campaign group’s previous poll at the end of last year. The Tories are on track to win just 98 seats, with none in Scotland or Wales.

I am very wary of property... their portfolio might be trading at a 50% discount to a valuation, but how realistic is the valuation if when other properties start changing hands at fire sale prices?

I had not realised just how much more Nickel & Aluminum would be needed...
Nickel demand is forecast to increase by 116%, from 2.4 million tonnes in 2019 to 5.2 million tonnes in 2035. The drive is fueled by consumer goods, batteries, and high-value new applications, such as super alloys and stainless steel.
Aluminum and steel are also expected to see significant growth of 57% and 50%, respectively. Aluminum’s growth will be particularly noticeable due to the market size, with an expected demand of 103.6 million tonnes in 2035.
Copper’s demand growth will largely be pushed by decarbonization and the transition to electrification and automated technology. The metal is expected to see demand increase by 26% to 29.7 million tonnes in 2035.
In comparison, zinc is likely to underperform other base metals, with an estimated increase of only 6%. This modest growth reflects strong competition from aluminum in some end-use markets such as diecast alloys.

I have posted about Quaise Energy in the past a few times... they want to use a 'gyrotron-powered drilling platform vaporizes boreholes through rock and provides access to deep geothermal heat without complex downhole equipment'.
They claim that most thermal power stations could be converted into geothermal plants anywhere in the world, as their tech should let you get down deep enough. There is an article in IEEE today about the company:
