There is no doubt that Noront has potential. Potential is a forward thinking charecteristic which in this case means we are what we are but we could be much more. Value to me means what the facts say we are worth right now. I guess the people who interpret the facts are the thousands of investors who have taken the plunge and bought a share or two. Sure you can argue that there is manipulation for PPs and short selling and many other reasons. But by and large, a share, like a case of beer is worth what you have to pay for it. You could argue that on a hot day the beer it is priceless!!!. You could also argue that given the facts on NOT, there will be a hot day when NOT will be priceless. The market (meaning us) needs the data to support that buying rush.
We have a magnificent suite of minerals and factual knowledge of some of the quantities. We have talked about the huge intercepts of high grade nickle ad nauseum. This latest news release repeats the fact that we have 22.8m of 28.3gpt of platinum. Man, that is rich!! It would be a junior explorers ultimate dream to pull a core like that because the share price would skyrocket. But we have been around the block too many times, we sort of lost our junior speculative status. We also are severely infrastructurally challenged. I posted a long time ago that a 1000 carat diamond is not worth much if it is on the moon because of the cost to go get it. However, infrastructure challenges can be overcome. For instance what is wrong with Cliffs and Noront creating a transportation company and share the cost of road/railway construction? The capitol load would be far less burdensome, the government seems to be considering investing. There are solutions. The problem is time and investment dollars make the rounds from nickle to copper to potash to oil to real estate or whatever seems to be on the upswing of the curve and has a short time span.
We have the goods, we have the potential, we dont have the timing of the window of opportunity, but our time will come.
