I spoke to Mr. Parisotto at the end of the AGM. I wanted an opportunity to express my personal deep concern at the selection of Patrick Anderson to the Board, which I did and he heard me out. We also spoke briefly about Agoracom and he appeared very positive about their role.

My interpretation on events is that we have a Board selected as part of a compromise. Whether these members cooperate and work together without rancour will have everything to do with the person who is chosen as the new President. If he is good at what he does and can bring both sides together we will have an effective team. It is in everyone's interests to make Noront a successful money-making company.

I believe we need to watch the new BoD with very close scrutiny over the next few weeks. Past events have shown the dissident players that we have a united very watchful eye.

I would seriously regret losing any of our key posters at this stage - they have had a huge impact on me and my decision making and they are the key component in the success of this forum to date. So please, Rosedale, d12, canseco, crazydik, QQ, donypee, glorieux, herbwiebe, misfit, miskealp, milsy, take a break if you must, but don't leave. We truly need your input. Actually as much as your input is important, it is the camaraderie that you bring to the table that is of such value. (Apologies - I know I'm forgetting a few names).

Richard has told us numerous times that we have a world class discovery up at McFaulds Lake, well I think we have a world class group on this forum - look at the numbers George posted later that evening after the AGM. Staggering. We need to keep it going. And then we'll get a world class price for our investment!
