Some have felt that the Noront information delivered by Neil was "same old, same old" - a basic regurgitation of material all of us have know for a gazillion years.

Let me reiterate once again, it was a technical presentation to an audience of mainly mining people. In fact, there was only one question during the Q&A, and it was from a banker. If this had been a true marketing-investor presentation, there was have been a plethora of questions afterwards.

There is a marketing meeting on Tuesday with IBK Capital. Noront, Spider, and Freewest are approaching a "tipping point". More and more technical data is coming in, assays will be available within one-three weeks, and a 43-101 will be available by the end of June.

Shortly everyone will have more than enough news to fill their belly.

One final point: there was a Noront corporate lawyer at the head table yesterday. It was very clear to me that Nemis, Novak, Harvey, and Watson were taking their queues from her. A stupid screw-up over "forward looking statements" would be possibly disastrous. Remember, a Vale-Inco dude was sitting right beside Nemis!

Be patient. It's coming. And shortly.
