I'd think most investors in these area plays are watching today even if not at work. Could be just the lull before buying storm on awaited news. It's been a good while since Noront had a release concerning the 'ROF' and one is expected. Others are on the ground in the area and hopefully can add to excitement once it starts.
In some ways I hate to see increased pricing on low volume as much as decrease on low volume since both can send signals that aren't truly representational of investor sentiment.
