...but I would think that the more involvement that any of the Noront people have with any of the ROF players the more influence and information will be available to NOT. This should benefit Not and add to their overall strength in the area.

It seems that having these people on their board should also help any company that is working in the ROF area as they will be getting influence from some very good talent and people who are very informed on the geology and workings of the larger group of companies.

Absolutely right, summit1, this is the bottom line and the big advantage of the "RoF network" and not the bull*%$$ about "conflict of interest" and "no time for Noront and company promotion and therefore lack of share price appreciation" some others here want to make us believe in.

Exactly these "connections" will play out in the end for all players involved.
