Hi Al,

I agree with your comments specific to the SP if a discovery is found on DE#2. The big boys are just waiting for confirmation on proof that the ore body is what we all hope it to be which is massive in size. Not just the big boys either. I recently sent an email to the Peter Koven, of the Financial Post who wrote the article, "Is this Voisey Bay II" this past October 13, 2007 to see if he has planned any follow up stories specific to McFauld's area (NOT) given all the changes since then. This was his response: "I will certainly write more about McFauld's if they find more high-grade ore and it lives up to the hype. In the meantime I'm watching it closely." I think NOT still has to prove to the world with undisputed facts supported with drill results that they have the goods before you see the kinds of SP appreciation many people are quoting. If you ask me we will know long before the proof is released in a NR as it will be evident and reflected in positive SP appreciation. The scale of that appreciation will be very much a function of whether it is DE#2 or DE#1. I myself am looking for a favorable DE#2 discovery and hope your comment on a rumor circulating supporting the same are true. If so it will not take long to reflect in the SP.
