There are things that management plans and discussions held that they must keep to themselves. For example, if Richard and his chief geologist had a conference call that they had some interesting showings with a first, second, or whatever drill hole, they would not tell anyone. In fact, this did happen and before the day was out others were scrambling to stake. Either a leak took place or someone who knew something was going on was very observent and caught on quickly. What would an announcement do? Just tell the world to rush in and stake the heck out of the area before Noront had a chance to. That happened quick enough. So it should be quite obvious that shareholders cannot always be the first to know things that must be kept quiet. You might not like it but that is the way it is and that is the way it will be. Now, once a news item is going to be announced, it comes out as a public bulletin to everyone. How in the world Noront would get a news bulletin out to just shareholders only before anyone else escapes me. The law requires Noront to make the news items public to everyone. I know that there are enough cases where leaks happen, but the rule is......" DON'T GET CAUGHT!!! " As for impatience, well, most of us understand. It's an emotion you will have to control or it will control you. Most of us battle with it from time to time. When I bought into Noront I expected to have sold my shares by now for about $30.00 and be gone. Have you checked the market lately? Since I bought things have happened and it isn't over yet by a long shot. I expect the markets to be another year from a comeback. Just think what Noront will have uncovered by then if the drills keep hitting. I expect they will. So when the next upswing comes along in about a year, investors, traders, momentum players, and just about everyone else will have cash and may rush into the Noront picture. That gets me excited and I think it will be worth the wait. It will be north of $30.00. Just because you, or I, or anybody else gets impatient isn't going to change a thing. So you have two choices... be patient or be impatient. I'm choosing the former. Good luck, but Herbie says it best.....God bless Noront shareholders....and please add a little patience.
