While taking nothing away from Richard Nemis and his abilities there are posters that would indicate he has the ability to walk on water.

Mr. Nemis has been in the junior exploration business for a long time and has been able to keep Noront afloat because, Historically:

He's a good deal maker and trys to obtain properties with enough potential value to hold the share price at least on the radar (remember how cheap it was for years).

He's fairly lucky, DE was luck more than anything else.

He's a great salesman. No other way to keep a junior afloat as long as he has without being able to constantly bring new investors aboard as old one's get discouraged.

Keep that last 'salesman' image front and center because that defines a lot of what RN is.

Richard has never been in your face promoting the hell out of things but a promoter is what he is and I bet he has to bite his tongue to keep from hyping Noront. At the moment he is the man in the spotlight and will continue to be so for some time. It doesn't hurt that he is indeed more of a gentlemen than anyone else I've come across in this aggressive business. He may owe some favours but I'll bet a whole lot more are owned to him.
