The downhole EM could prove to be very interesting as well...anybody here familiar with the Russian technology, RIM ? ( sic)
From what I understand, it is expensive, and requires a lot of deep drill holes, but is very effective at "seeing" through rock using microwave technology. My hope is that Noront and ALL it's JV partners will utilize this technology as a group since the more drill holes, the better to detect lenses.
If there is a massive deposit in the center a la Voisey's Bay, even though there is limestone overburden and such in the older rock in the center, it would present no difficulties to detect a deposit with such a technology.
Maybe I'm out to lunch, but that seems like something worth doing down the road...where are we in our 12 -18 month time frame? LOL
