Instead of hanging on Smith's word or actions, there are a number of actions we can take to confirm or confound data given or actions taken, that can add to a buy, sell, or hold decision: 1) call Someone from cliffs for their take on Baosteel. --------2). Call UC, Kwg, Mac, other in Rof, including Nemis for their take on Baosteel and cliffs. ------3) Get a name from the above at Baosteel and call this person for their intention beyond Noront. -------4) perhaps call folks at Champion and ask their feeling of security about Baosteel or Cliffs Owning 17.5% of them. What actions they'd prefer FNC take with CHM. See what is revealed. Also ask CHM to describe progress at Fermont and if they are on target for thei projected plan. What are their projections? How much ore what price would they give it? Also get further geo data and compare to Smith's geo data. Also what's their opinion of cliff staking out Consolidated Thompson? Also what keeps Arcelor from acting upon CHM. how much ore do they need to find before CHM promos a threat. Is developing a bluff?------ 5) Call Wes at Noront and ask about Ruler On Fault theory. Does he have data at at-1 he can share with Smith?--------- 6) call neighbors at Beauce for their geo data. Is their any data they could offer Smith in exchange for our V-tem data? Compare info gained with a call to Smith. -------7) ask smug fir permission to contact Fouad and get some unoffcial Magpie data out there to boost SP. -------8) offer any graphic skills go Heather to get website up. ----------- I can think of a dozen more proactive steps an army of posters can accomplish.
