Noront Resources (TSXV:NOT) is a Canadian-based mining company, and has the largest land position in the Ring of Fire, an emerging multi-metals area located in the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario.

As a result of the April 2015 acquisition of the Cliffs chromite properties, Noront now has ownership or a controlling interest in all the major discoveries to date in the region.

The company’s first project is a 100%-owned, high-grade, nickel, copper and platinum group element (PGE) deposit called Eagle’s Nest. It is the largest high-grade nickel discovery in Canada since Voisey’s Bay and the most advanced project in the Ring of Fire.  The next projects in our pipeline are the Blackbird and Black Thor chromite deposits. 

To date, Noront has invested over $200 million in exploration, development, acquisition and community engagement—an area of recognized leadership. The company’s exploration program includes 205,516 meters of drilling in 624 holes. Noront expects to be in commercial production at Eagle’s Nest by 2020.
