The Conditional Bankable Feasibility Study is not a "feasibility study" as defined by CIM Definition Standards (per NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) and is not intended to establish the technical and economic feasibility of the chromite projects. The traffic volume and economic studies will take account of the various defined chromite resources documented in the area by all mineral claim owners.

CANARAIL Agency:

KWG has engaged CANARAIL Consultants Inc. to provide the specialized professional services and data that will be required of KWG as the client of FSDI. CANARAIL will provide current materials and services pricing in Canada together with design advice and assistance in complying with local environmental, social and other applicable standards to facilitate and expedite completion of the feasibility study.
