Announcements from this week were all about money. Noront arranged a non-brokered private placement and also extended its debt arrangement with Resource Capital Fund, one of its biggest sources of capital. An article was also released calling into question the commonly-cited claim that Ontario’s Ring of Fire is worth $60 billion. These two things are related, because Noront Resources’ ability to continually extend its debt and rely on the stock market to fund its existence (until it’s able to generate an actual profit through multiple operating mines) is reliant on investors and lenders’ confidence that there is actually billions of dollars worth of profit to be made in the Ring of Fire. If that confidence starts to shake, Noront might find itself unable to continue in its pursuit of these projects.
