the use of the term "vertical extension" in place of the more well known term: strike length

good stuff boys, indeed most are not getting the gist of whats below at all.

We are currently tracing by way of deep drilling the mineralization responsible for providing NOT shareholders with perhaps the highest grade nickel/copper mineralization thats been found for some time.

As such, drilling to date has taken us from the known depths at Eagle One down at -87 degrees on through 178.8m of 1.2% nickel of lense B and into and out of 149.5m of 2.4% nickel at Lense C and then on to 945 meters + and when last i checked the deposit is considered to be open at depth and other directions.

Mungal, Harvey have left not. They've proven up the goods, thank you vedy much and it's now up to Wes to bring em up.

When discussing Eagle One now with close friends i take the time to explain Mungalls theory of conduit connected lenses/pods , explain to them how we have intercepted additional lenses vertically below Eagle One, how lense C has even better assayed grades than that of B, and that the lenses and conduit is pge laden as well.

Eagle One is a near surface lense/deposit connected to several more via conduit, by default given the grandness of the 30 km multiple deposit zone found to date there is every possibility that many more similar mineralized "vertical" systems like the that of our Eagle's remain undrilled but will be found along the RFI, there remains the possibility that someone will find a "horizontal" nickel zone, may already have found it. AT 12 and Eagle 2 may very well be connected to Eagle one at depth, the drillings been pretty constant at AT 12, FWR's found more below its border with NOT and you can darn well bet that the mineralization they found is of the same source as that of the nickel at AT12 and that of Eagle Ones own riches. Each and every drill hole holds the potential to unlock the secret of the source of the nickel, the source of all the chromite, the source of the vanadium/titanium, the regions zinc rich, the regions laden with pge's.

To me the reality of the ROF and drilling to date is such that if one really looks at the grandness of the mineralized 30 km zone drilled off to date, it really is quite spectacular, in a 30 km stretch there could soon be multiple open pit mines going mining world class nickel, world class chromite and world class Vanadium/Titanium. How long before we pull up gold laden core, perhaps diamonds form the supposed kimberlite pipes in the area.

30 kms, inside which we have such incredible mineral finds the likes that many in the industry say they've never seen before in all thier years of exploration.

The ROF is a jewel, a veritable treasure trove lying in wait of plunder.

I like to think that Eagle One is just one pod of dozens strung out along a massive interconnected highway of feeder conduits all leading back to the "sources" of all the minerals the bits are finding.

About the step out...if you look west from hole 49, you see that we actually have several holes collared at least 300m away from 49, hence the rumor to fact of the step out.

I think the directional drilling will really wake up alot of peoples senses once we start deep plunging the lenses below Eagle One. Quite literally we now have the means to enter lense B at midpoint horizontally and fan out laterally within the deposit. I have been fortunate enought to have been on many a directional drill ahead in the past, good stuff, great technology, directional drillers and crews are a breed unto themselves, most are more than eagere to st down and explain thier technology, how to bend pipe in the depths etc. Directional drilling holds great potential for Noront to not only define lense B and C but also to potentially define the boundries of the connecting conduit not to mention it definitly makes running deeper below lense C all the more easier, instead of punching multiple 1000m+ holes trying to find the mineralization, we can start in the mineralization, say like at the bottom of 49, push till on down till until we run out of it, pull back, change directions and run in the bit. Hopefully like i said before, hopefully this snake of a conduit soon turns and runs horizontally with pods/lenses increasing as we travel along.

Vertical Extension + Multiple Lenses = "Eagle One strike length" ...at least until we go horizontal.

Good Evening everyone.
