Yes there are some other players with claims close enough to Noront's DE 1 to have targets with similar mineralization. Weither siimlar finds will be made further away is, in my opinion more of a gamble then targets closer.
I sort of agree about FWR and they will drill sooner than Probe or FNC and for some reason I just can't seem to warm to Probe. However FNC is my side bet. 28 million shares outstanding and that makes a big difference. Yes trading around $1.80 but 1/7 th the shares outstanding of FWR and 1/5th what Noront has out.
FNC has to be primo target for anyone to partner with and drill their close anomality. You just know Noront and a few others are trying to do a deal. In the short term any hit by Noront on another anomality has to more than double FNC and if they drill and hit (3-4mths) then heavy duty increase. If you feel FWR could result in $8 share price then try 7 times that for Fancamp or $56
All these side plays, in my opinion, carry more risk than does Norotn (which is risky enough) however with more risk does come more potential return, or loss.
