I heard as soon as FN give OK, Smith will be drilling within a week, possibly utilizing FWR's drills which are still on FWR/CLFS land. So deeper on C1 and explore new anomylies on C6. His concern is will the FN do what's best for them and for us, by permitting the drills to begin before season end or we have a long wait.

Side Note: Peter Smith, instead of having an intolerant attitude towards FN, conveyed tremendous respect and empathy for their plight.

My strategy is to buya little now (which seems impossible. Would some of you guys get impatient and sell a little FNC please. Buy EAG or GNH or something) and save a little cash for a SP dip should FNC have to wait a few months to drill.

It's interesting that Noront agreed there is significant NI on FNC. If they said this recently, that reflects a new (perhaps) humbling attitude shift and more intelligent cooperation to get the nickel aspect of ROF in spotlight again.
