Downside is that Noront doesn't want to carry the full ROF on their back. It would be awful nice to have a lot of drills turning since 'critical mass' of high value deposits could be done faster. The more FWR/SPQ/BMK etc. find the better off all ROF explorers will be.
The recent posting 'Are we screwed' can be answered with a resounding NO. Have we been screwed over the past year? I'd say yes without hesitation.
Now we finish off 2008 and wait for exploration results and assays. Money is in the bank and Management/BOD definately working to raise the share price. While I don't trust management to look after our interests I sure do trust them to look after themselves and that means getting results fast and getting share price much much higher.
