I very much appreciate the conservative view that many posters have taken towards NOT's progress.  It is certainly a way of coping with a potentially longer wait than one would prefer to endure to achieve their "riches".  At the same time as admitting the possibility of a much longer wait, based on comments by R.N. and his enthusiasm, the list of high power entities involved in the D.E. play and the immanent  43-101, I also hold a little potential for NOT's sp to blossom, perhaps not as soon as was predicted back in Sept., but sooner than has been bandied about of late.  I am encouraged to entertain a much quicker acsension, considering J.D.s uplifting outline of NOT's requirements to achieve status on the TSX big board.  We have folks arguing for both sides of the fence, but of late, it seems like it could be something in between.  A Sudbury lab helping out with some specialized assays too?..... this could get even more interesting.
