I said in my previous post that it was the geology (mineralogy, geochemistry and depositional environment) that convinced me that this deposit is important. It was the discovery of chromite, in thick sequences that was the final piece of evidence that I needed to conclude that this deposit sure looks like a layered mafic intrusion.

The chromite layers build thickness as the mineral crystallizes from circulating magma (crystal fractionation) and settles to the bottom of the magma chamber over time. For the chromite layers encountered here to be thick, to me, indicates that this was a system that persisted for a long time. This deposit does exhibit characteristics of other layered mafic intrusions that host important polymetallic deposits including Ni, Cu, PGE, and chromite found elsewhere in the world.

The chromite forms stratigraphic layers/lenses that are close to the bottom of the sill/intrusion here at NOT, this fact is very compelling. Platinum deposits are rare and I think the chances are great that continuous layers/lenses of PGE will be delineated here; certainly the magma/host rock composition and depositional environment are right.

Now no geologic feature fits the simple conceptual model. The story can be and usually is complicated by numerous factors that makes the hunt more difficult. For me there is enough evidence so far to lead me to invest my money enthusiastically in NOT. I am here as long as it takes for the story of the ROF and NOT's properties to unfold.

I am not a sophisticated investor and don't know all of the in and outs of this complex TSX Venture marketplace but I'm learning that the waters are full of sharks. Geology is what I have knowledge of and I buy stocks based on what the drill bit reveals and hold on until the story plays out. This is a great story with all of the signature characteristics of a rare and beautiful wonder of nature. I am late to the party but will be here for the long-term.
