Dick said contracts with new assaying lab are at the lawyers for review. Evidently they have promised a 2 week turnaround on assays. Now first the core samples have to get to them so that's a few extra days. Still a lot better than 2 bloody months.

I'd be extremely surprised if Noront did not cut other players into their deal since these people do work together often and will help each other if they can and it doesn't affect their own operations. Given the amount of drilling that's scheduled I'm sure the lab would gear up and bring in more equipment and staff to take advantage of the scale of work. Win Win for everybody.

MacDonald Mine has very aggressive plans for the 'Ring of Fire' and helping them also helps Noront. Everyone exploring in this area wants others to find economic ore bodies as it boosts everyone's credibility. Too many people suspect there are only small ore bodies in this area like around Voisey Bay. They could be very surprized and some biggy is just waiting for someone to drill.

Hey, what did I just say? DE 1's size isn't yet determined and just possibly this could still turn into a 'super size me'.
