The basic principles of mining for rare earths are similar to the basic principles of base metal mining or of mining gold or zinc, for which there has been mining in the Northwest Territories. I'm less familiar with diamond mining, which is another big type of mining employment. But the mining is very similar at that stage. I think the experience people have in these areas would translate quite well into rare earth mining and processing in the Northwest Territories. There's great potential for that.
