If I was Wes Hanson, one of the first things I would do, would be to arrange a meeting with Noront's Chairman Emeritus, Mr. Richard Nemis. I would plan for, and request a good deal of time with Mr. Nemis, as I would want to pick the brain of the man (along with John Harvey) who is responsible for the discovery that launched the Ring of Fire.

I am optimistic, although not convinced yet, that Wes Hanson is a quality mining person, and hopefully not anything like the guys that hired him.

This is my concern. Management tends to perpetuate itself. That is, they tend to hire people just like themselves. Perhaps Mr. Hanson will surprise them, and in doing so, earn our respect and make us rich.

Welcome, Mr. Hanson, and best of luck (and skill) to you.

P.S. I still have all my shares, and then some.
