I won't go on and on about this as we all know what needs to happen, but I will share a tidbit of information of my conversation with a Noront board member a few weeks back about the "whole road thing".

When I asked what will really catapult the share price, the response was nothing I didn't already know...........transportation commitements. From Noronts perspective, we are basically in a win win situation with either the N/S or E/W.........the only scenario that isn't in Noronts favor (or anyones) is the current one. We are in limbo, hence the deflated SP since the easement decision. We need cliffs to push the government (presently happening) to figure out a more realistic solution to the KWG claims in order to finalize the transportation corridor. OR, we need cliffs to bail completely and put the project on ice. The government can't move forward with E/W if cliffs still has it's toes in the water. Personally I really don't care which route is chosen, I just want progression. Luckily I think were very close to some clarity in this regard.

Hold the course folks, just when you least expect it, our day will come. Good luck all.
