Top o' the morning to all - first post - have been a watcher and NOT owner since last October. First and foremost would like to thank the dedicated people who have given us such a wealth and breadth of knowledge with regards to Noront and the Ring of Fire. The scope of information is extraordinary. QQ Girl, donypee, d12, rockaur, helium, geoprof, herbert, canseco, rosedale (wherefore art thou?), et al. (The list is getting longer!) Can't begin to tell you how important and relevant the info has been for my own dd. Am definitely long on NOT and other McFauld's companies.

Went to PDAC a few weeks ago and was fortunate enough to speak on separate occasions to Neil Novak, John Harvey and Mike Kilbourne from Billiken. Very interesting conversations. One of the things Neil said was that the detailed press release hadn't been done yet as he writes them and just hadn't had time. Since they've been away on holidays, perhaps we will see something in the next day or two. Also went to Joe Badali's in search of QQ Girl and the other NOT people and couldn't find you anywhere! Upstairs and downstairs we went twice - to no avail!! Did meet one other poster though who was also looking! Where were you all!!

Here's a little Irish blessing for you for St. Patrick's - looks like we will need all the help we can get today.........!! Thanks again to everyone.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
