It was NOT my intention that if the deep drills did not make it that we were "done for"... I was trying to get everyone to think about why is this happening, and yes, how badly are we going to be behind the 8 ball if these drills don't arrive. We have to spend X amount of exploration dollars by the end of this year, wouldn't that be better served by proving that there is more nickel below the 11 - 1500 meter depth??? That is my thinking, if it was my company...

As far as using some of those "other" suggestions, helicopters of various shapes and sizes, excellent suggestions there... if they are only double of a Herc, then there are NO WORRIES, MATES. This is only a one time cost to bring in 2 large drills, if you only double the cost to that, no problems... I was thinking of "outlandish" costs to use these other modes of transportation, so honestly, I did not even have them in mind when I made that initial post... Money is not endless, and the less dilution, the better, for my share value...

Have to go, big day for my little girl as she is participating in 6 events in that track and field meet today. 2 golds and a silver yesterday. Couldn't be more proud of her. There is a good chance for 3 more gold medals today, so here's praying she feels "strong" when she is running her races, throwing her shot put and high jumping...

God Bless all Noront Shareholders.
