...well I'm running out of steam and notes although my head is still spinning with 'all things NOT .....and ROF.

FWR will have the 2nd drill start-up next week.....they will drill from either end of 'Black Thor' at 200m spacings.....again only 200m deep as Kareema said. This will not give them a 43-101, but mac's attitude was 'who needs it'. If consistency is proved for 1.6 kilometers then you won't need said 43-101 to interest a major.

NOT's exploration budget for 2009 is $19million.

...well I've related all my notes and finished my pies.....I can't post any more til tomorrow at work as I don't have internet where I'm staying. That's why I chose dinner and a chat tonight......it's time for all you easterners to hit the sack anyway...lol. Markets open in 10.5 hrs.

My 'feelings' are that NOT is plowing full steam ahead. Regardless what we think of the new BOD, they are wanting to prove it up....I say good on them.

FWR is also full steam ahead and who finishes 1st is still in the air......the 'truth machines' will have a lot to say about the future for ALL our ROF hopefulls. I came away realizing that it is a great race on all sorts of levels and we just need to hang onto our hats and stay alert....yes, even George(Agora) said we must keep our eyes open.

well friends and neighbours....I'll try to steal a little time tomorrow from work, but at the moment I think you've got all that I can remember

cheers and good night from Vancouver....sambone
