The Midrim/Laforce projects are very promissing, are in a safe jurisdiction and far away from any populated areas. Delays may had to do with administrative errors and since November 2021 the claims are legally registered under RFR's subsidiary 9426-9198 Québec Inc. http://gestim.mines.gouv.qc.ca/documents/58248_0000053520.pdf

The Canadian projects should be kept and pushed forward, particularly if things in Europe get entangled.
