I will attempt to explain why we go to acompetitors site. First of all change the term from competitor to friend and possible partner to be. You never know.

When I first got into NOT way before miningjunkie thouht of his handle MUG and FWR shared the same office. They in turn are very tight with NOT and RN. They always did help each other along. 

It takes a map maker to do the maps. Freewest has the map maker here in the Thunder Bay FWR office. This gentleman does maps for all 3 plays. This was as of 3 months ago when I was at the office talking to Don.

NOT hasn't had a minute to do much of anything outside of mining. Take a look bak a year. Its been all work for them. RN is very careful about where he puts our money and I appreciate that. There will be a new and improved website and perhaps they will eventually get their own mapmaker but fpr now its just a matter of pooling resources, using who is best and using one who has been on the gorund and knows whats going on......Don
