I don't deny that. I respond to what you or others write. If you can't write. If you can't summarize what YOU saw or what YOU found interesting in a video, then that's on you, not me. BV does the same thing - posts click-bait hoping people will click on it and comment. I don't roll that way. But, thanks for your thoughtful response.Cannonpointer » Yesterday, 7:13 pm » wrote: ↑ That is not first of all, because he never said otherwise. His video never said otherwise.
This thread is about production, not reserves. So, first of all, your first of all is not a first of all. It's not an of all at all.
Nope. First.
MAYBE.
Let's read on.
From your link:
"In June of 2017, Northcliff announced positive results from the federal environmental assessment that Sisson submitted in 2013. They received provincial approval in 2015. This significant milestone has been years in the making. Everyone involved is eager to move onto the next steps leading to production."
The good news: they started the process of actually PRODUCING tungsten 12 years ago. That's when the first millions were spent. Four years later (7 years ago), they cleared a major hurdle.
The BAD news:, they started the process of actually PRODUCING tungsten 12 years ago. That's when the first millions were spent. Four years later (7 years ago), they cleared a major hurdle.
Let's say that this mine can produced half of America's needs. That's a GIFT - your link is silent on the issue. We are an easy decade out on fulfilling on the other half. And this mine that's gonna save us? When will it be ready? Oh, brother - who the **** knows? From your link:
"After Sisson has a sense of how its permitting and off taker engagement is going, the company can approach banks and lending institutions. “The markets have obviously changed,” Zahovskis said, referring to the markets when they first submitted the environmental assessment in 2013. “We are at a point where we need to find clarity in terms of where the market is going before we can make any firm decisions on commitment for timing.”"
There is not even a firm commitment to BUILD the mine, at this point. And when that firm commitment DOES come together? What then? Again, from your link:
"After the permitting, contracts, finances and partnership paperwork are out of the way, construction can finally begin at the Sisson Tungsten-Molybdenum Project. Construction will be a two-year build." We're NOT YET at the two years out mark - not by a long shot. We are WORKING toward a two year window for the build. How long it will take to begin reliable production is anyone's guess. My tungsten production expertise is limited to hasty googles. Where I DO have some expertise is in calling **** - and I am calling it on your first of all, and I am calling it on your second.
Now, let's have a look at your turd.
No one said it was rare - in the ground. It's just rare above ground. I don't think you watched the video. It's only eight minutes. You really should have watched it BEFORE commenting.
Yeah... no.
That's not what just happened. What just happened is old skans commented on a video old skans didn't watch.
