A valid point was raised questioning how Noront has managed to get away with reporting of visual examination of core samples. Allowing this rather goes against the requirements for carefull and controlled assays etc. which came about because of fraud in junior resource companies.
Just because for some reason, maybe how rich some of the ore found at DE1, the TSX has approved or even encouraged Noront to report early. Evidently they are not so supportive of others in the area which mean waiting for full assays and not visual impressions.
