Not sure how I feel yet, had always had a suspicion we could see a compromiseprir to te vote. We now have a few more cards on the table like what majors may be involved. We have Neil, John and Mungall still working on Noront. Taking emotion out of the picture very hard especially when personal finances and this forum's dialogue is concerned. This is the evololution of our company as it grows. This time next year we will see a whole new company mandate. We have a mixed BOD now and some old, but they have a mandate to provide shareholder value and their own value (everybody wants more money).

We could see a move to the TSX do we have the executives in place for this? I belive we do now.

Will we have a major buy in? I believe this hand is now apparent just a matter of time.

I do believe Windfall will be sold off.

Consolidation in the ROF will occur, we have the executives, legal, accounting, corporate negotiators, to make this assimilation smooth. They have always maintained an 80% target.

This new board still has to meet shareholder appeal. We will all get a vote again next year for a BOD. They have to act in shareholder interest big and small. I am glad to see Richard still on the team. A defining factor will be the appointment of the new CEO, I believe this person and their background will be the directional eye opener for Noronts future.

I still believe in NOT and am invested to see this through ( hoping we can only go up). Thanks to all who contribute and read here it adds a personal side to this unforgiving thing we call the 'market'.
