My friend...I have been here for what seems eternity,but like I said I have made my$$$, my dreams have not been "dashed", as you say, I am disappointed in the turn of events of the past year and 1/2.

The dream is not as you say "dead" for me, it is just taking a hiatus,as there seems to be nothing positive to say about this BOD (the company is fine itis the way it is being run) You talk about the reputation of the Bod... you can see by the last while there has been a 'down trend" in the share price since the flow-through offer.

You mentioned ALL the ore that is in the ground and the increase in commodities GREAT, but can you explain as to why this has not been reflected in the share price?. If we, and everyone else knows what we have and the we lose share value you have to question why.I think there is only a few answers..it is not the swamp or the distance or the natives then who or what especially when you consider that everyone in the ROf in the past weeks have increased their share value except NOT.

I too am hoping they find more ore etc.. but like someone once said "even blind man can shoot ducks with a shot gun"

I am also hoping that the BOD starts be more transparent and stop treating us like mushrooms!

You talk about infrastructure I am sorry to say that Noront will be riding the shirttails of Cliffs if they dont start mergers or joint ventures.. as seen by the amount of operating capital they have ..that capital from the flow through offer is only to keep them operating for the next while not for a railroad ice-road etc.. that money for infrastucture will only come from the Provincial Gov't. and then only given out to consortiums or large companies with caveates..I agree with your premis that it will increase Noronts value.

Yes D Day did take time but the British Commonwealth along with the Allies KNEW that the bombing would stop (air supremacy) and that the world would beat the Hitler, Mussillini and Japan (Toe-Joe,Tokyo Rose).
