It's hard to believe that NOT will not encounter numerous other sizeable discoveries in the near future, we haven't seen a play like this since a long time, the sheer hit ratio, the diverse base metals in the ground (and some close to surface) tell the story of a Monster in the Making.
The market is telling us that nobody is looking for Chrome at this point in time, then again, the Chrome is just one storyline in NOT's just started life. Be ready for the ride of a lifetime, even if it may take some time, it looks like we have more surprises in the make throughout the ROF. The doubt about whether or not economic feasible reserves are in the ground will gradually fade away over time.
The ongoing crisis may hold the lid off for now (sideway sp development), this is temporary for sure as economic momentum is starting up already in key areas of the globe (Chine for one), NOT will have time to continue drilling as planned and will be in super shape once economies have turned the corner again.
It's too big to fail, and so diverse that Majors will have some difficulties to understand, pls view this to be buying opportunities, no major will in the end be able to look away and see one of the competitors deal with our BoD.
It's been a great ride sofar (up and down that is to say), so let's not make a classic mistake by selling too early in the cycle to come. Time is on our side as we do not need a deal in compressed market conitions. Let's rather wait for the ultimate momentum which will come in matter of yrs.
