Hoov, thanks for the great report. It is appreciated. I also would like to respectfully ask a question. It is about the drill at AT-12 that may apparently soon be available to someone else.

NOT has a 50/50 JV with PRB on land just north of Eagle Nest. PRB is currently the operator, until March 2011 at which time NOT will be the operator for 2 years. PRB has indicated that they plan on deep drilling in search of nickel on this PRB/NOT claim that is only 400-500 meters north of Eagles Nest. It is my understanding that PRB needs to get a drill (I believe a deep drill) before they can proceed. I had heard previously that PRB was hoping to use one of NOT's drills. If PRB hits nickel, NOT will substantially benefit. Since NOT has a very significant stake in the drilling results for nickel on this JV land that is so close to Eagle Nest, I was wondering if there was any mention on your trip about NOT possibly letting PRB use one of their drills.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
