A lot of the FWR shareholder (like myself) have NOT shares and were great NOT supporters in the past. Last year hostile takeover and the way retail shareholders were treated changed our opinion totally. Many have held their NOT shares because they are far lower in value then when purchased and depite what has been seen as lack of management and private greed at play, still believe in the company and what is in the ground.

If NOT truly want to make this work for the benefit of the overall ROF (and be default NOT shareholder) show us the next offer and let's try to increase value for all. It can be done.

A better offer with a revised share ratiop and spin off of other assets would still get NOT what they want - a very large chrome base to go along with their assets, making for a single can't miss mine opportunity for a major to jump on. FWR share holders would share in this success as part of the company and also benefit from holding ownership of the other assets FWR still has to develop.

Showing some form of conciliation with the large retail shreholder base would not only help NOT in this amalgamation attempt but set a very positive tone for further consolidation in the ROF. And everyone would benefit from the faith they have placed in their respective ROF company(s).

I know I may be dreaming here and this is all IMHO but as the name impies - I am Wishing
