Below is a request I sent into Noront. Thought I would give it a try and see what response if any I would get. I tried calling the phone numbers but they are call forwarded due to the PDAC setup. Anyone going to the PDAC can probably get this info from the brass in the booth. Finding out about those assays and the intrigue they have generated with their statements. I say intrigue because I think the reasons are positive not negative. Try and find out what parameters they are testing, for instance physical and chemical properties have an influence on how efficiently the minerals can be separated and smelted. I saw a comment that our chromite is fine grained and has to be pelletized which means it cannot be shipped as "lumpy" ore. How close our deposit is to surface is of paramount importance. This would be great information to verify.
Your last PR stated you were having assays repeated due to high concentrations of Cr2O3 and that other independent labs would be verifying the results. Are you planning to release these results because the PR leads one to think spectacular results are coming. Also, the infill drilling for the 43-101 is underway. Will you release the assays from each hole as the information becomes available? This may be repetitious but it is necessary information to plan for further investment in Noront. One final question, with the drilling done so far on the Blackbirds, how close to surface can you project the massive, semimassive or disseminated chromite?
