High-grade Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd-Au-Ag-Rh-Cr-V discoveries in the "Ring of Fire" NI 43-101 Update (March 2011): 11.0 Mt @ 1.78% Ni, 0.98% Cu, 0.99 gpt Pt and 3.41 gpt Pd and 0.20 gpt Au (M&I) / 9.0 Mt @ 1.10% Ni, 1.14% Cu, 1.16 gpt Pt and 3.49 gpt Pd and 0.30 gpt Au (Inf.)

Different oxidation states; much different toxicity. Cr(VI) is the "bad stuff" about which the "Erin Brockovich" film was produced. Chromite (the mineral found in the RoF) is Cr(III). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromite_(compound)

Now, doing Chromium production is another matter. I am certain I wouldn't want a smelter in my back yard... FN take heed.

Besides, Noront is all about the Nickel/copper/PGE.
