Hopefully we can put our heads together and solve another mystery here.'

Actually, if you refer back to NOT's news releases, E1 is said te exist within a conduit at some distance from the RFI, and E2 is said to occur on the throat of a conduit.

I admire your efforts to try and figure things out, but I doubt the chrome is hiding other E1s. I suggest you read NRs and the 43-101 report discsussion on the local geology to understand why I think your theory is inconsistent with the geological interpretation/understanding of the structure and mineralization. Roughly speaking, along the RoF you can expect the chrome belt to occur east of any Cu-Ni-PGM mineralization existing within or at the end of any conduits thought to flow from the west - northwest, probably ending where the ultamafic peridotite intrusion makes contact with the surrounding rock, possibly creating zones of shear-hosted sulphide mineralization along this contact, as we see with E2..
