Thank you for taking the time to expand upon my earlier comments and you have done an excellent job explaining the likely Windfall Mining situation. However some of the 'zones' do appear to not follow the 'vein' type situation and may in fact turn out to have considerably wider than normal areas of excellent grade ore.

I had kind of hoped Noront might grab some early samples from the first two zones reached but they are obviously sticking to their 'game plan' and forging ahead to reach the wholely owned Noront zones.

Noront is about the most exciting exploration play in past 10 years. It has drama, excitement, price swings, one play 'Windfall' in late stages of development and the other 'ROF' which hands out 'prizes' on a regular basis.

When (not if) majors sit down to enter serious discussions they won't be overwhealming Noront with the calibre of their 'team'. Team Noront is now scary in it's breadth and depth of experiance. Nobody assembles a team like Dick Nemis has for penny ante stuff and while I still shake my head at the $100 a share value forcast last year by some it sometime crosses my mind that they could just be right. Personally I doubt that I have the fortitude to hang on to every share once offers reach $20 but what a nice thought to have.
