We could catch a lot of those projects up right now, Andy, if we could have regulatory certainty from the federal government on some of our major projects, including the Ring of Fire. This is a positive non-partisan conversation that we need to have and it's happening right now here today. That does prevent us from moving ahead, certainly.
For the purposes of our strategy, this is a great question and a great opportunity for us. Obviously, on the junior exploration side, it's important to lock down and identify, as we have, some of the highest grade of nickel supply in quantity and quality, which is in the Ring of Fire. Its closest comparison would likely be Indonesia, which has to extract it from pig iron and burn off a lot of coal in order to do it.
These are projects that must move ahead. We've moved a couple of major gold mine projects across critical milestones, most notably leave to construct, operation or expansion. Of note, at least in one instance, the Borden mine site is completely electrified.
We've had our own regulatory challenges, I have to admit. We have a bit of a hangover from the previous decade and a half of the last government. We've been working on red tape reduction in our own shop to make sure that these mines can move forward. We're not going to compromise the environmental standards or any of the opportunities with our indigenous communities as partners.
For the collective effort, certainly in the context of our discussion today, we all have to be singing from the same songbook.
