Noront shares lost their shine when it became apparent that this was not going to be anything close to a 'Voisey Bay' Nickel discovery. The ROF looked positive for a world class deposit and instead turned into an expensive and difficult search for rich 'pods'.

Now it appears that indeed a 'world class' deposit(s) are in the ROF but it's Chromite not Nickel. Not to say that other metals are valuable and add value to explorers market cap but developing a mining camp requires a 'World Class Deposit' and right now Chromite looks like a winner.
