I think that CLF is using Noront's efforts with the FN as a pawn. The lake runway will start freezing soon and the chance of another may be blockade looming. Are the FN richer yet? NO! Instant gratifiacation is an addiction too!
It all depends on trust and experience. McFaulds is just another location to CLF not their backyard and not their only ace growth property. Perhaps lessons they have learned through their sucessful past are determining their present behaviour.
Call NOT a pawn or a sacrificial lamb or whatever you like. The managment story so far has been dismal.
BTW, I have now eaten all of my losses and have bolted to PM opportunities. I'll be back in at $2.80 when I can see the logic and progress of the business plan.
Take care folks
