Noront CEO outlines big plans in the Ring of Fire

VANCOUVER — Noront Resources (TSXV: NOT; US-OTC: NOSOF) has emerged as a leader across the Ring of Fire region in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario, and it has a long term plan in the works it hopes will establish a world-class nickel sulphide and chromite camp in the region.

The company is knows it won't be a quick process, but a commitment to social license and First Nation partnerships could lead to successes where larger companies have failed.

The deal was financed via a US$22.5-million loan agreement that saw Franco-Nevada (TSX: FNV; NYSE: FNV) pick up a 3% royalty on the Black Thor chromite deposit and a 2% royalty on Noront's properties in the region with the exception of its advanced stage Eagle's Nest nickel platinum group metals project.
