Roodepoort, this thing with Rhodium and NOT goes back in time and there has been much discussion on the board regarding same.

We have never been privy to any information surrounding Rhodium on NOT lands other than that given to us by Richard. To date, no assays on rhodium? Is it managements "jewel in the box" , to be saved for that rainy day, the kicker of kickers?

I do believe the samples were sent to Vancouver....

like Fantomas said back in August..

P.P.S. And where is the Rhodium ? Was the whole PGE suite analysed ?

Now that the "iums" are being thrown around again perhaps it would be good of NOT to clarify the situation surrounding the Rhodium indications.

DOUBLE EAGLE "RING OF FIRE"

This award is representative of the exceptional year experienced by Noront Resources Ltd. In September 2007, Noront announced the discovery of high grade nickel, copper, platinum, palladium, as well as, indications of rhodium on its Double Eagle property in the James Bay Lowland area of north-eastern Ontario, Canada. The discovery was then tested by several drill holes, three of which returned assays as follows:

- NOT-07-05 for which final assay results included 68.3 meters averaging 5.9% nickel, 3.1% copper, 2.87 g/t platinum, 9.78 g/t palladium, 0.61 g/t gold and 8.5 g/t silver. (See press release September 27, 2007)

- NOT-07-18 for which final assay results included 124.6 meters averaging 2.39% nickel, 1.09% copper, 1.12 g/t platinum, 3.86 g/t palladium, 0.28 g/t gold and 3.89 g/t silver. (See press release January 3, 2008)

- NOT-07-27 for which final assay results included 46.2 meters averaging 6.3% nickel, 2.8% copper, 1.9 g/t platinum, 10.2 g/t palladium, 3.0 g/t gold and 7.3 g/t silver. (See press release January 28, 2008)

The consistency of exceptional drill results at the Double Eagle project continued to add to the potential of this discovery. Thirty five holes were completed by early 2008 on the Eagle One magmatic massive sulphide deposit, the assay and drill hole data is currently being reviewed and compiled as required for an initial resource estimate, that is progressing extremely well. Noront continues to actively explore and stake ground in the area and currently holds 100% of over 48,600 hectares of prospective ground and is joint venture with several other resource companies on approximately 68,000 hectares. Collectively Noront holds interest in approximately 116,800 hectares or 1,166 square kilometers of staked land within the Ring of Fire exploration area.

The Noront discovery triggered an unprecedented staking rush in the area, including in excess of 100 mining exploration companies and a few major mining companies. The Ring of Fire area now totals approximately 4,000 square kilometers of staked land.

Cheers

Notster.
