Does this imply that Noront did not have their feet on the ground in time to re-stake their own claims, even though they knew the date that the claims were due for re-staking ??

If this is the case How many claims did we lose?, as it seems their geographical location are of utmost importance in the overall picture.

The vast area that we had is dwindling quickly.

Hoping the message is wrong but if it is not wrong... heads should roll!!
