I do not understand your logic. The potential for PGEs is there, but so what? Depending on where they drill the potential is greater for nickel or chromium. PGEs and copper occur as a side line to the nickel ore should they find that. Understand, it is not what you or I may wish, it will most likely be more of the same that we have seen this far.
The drilling in my opinion is to find more of what ever. Noront has a vast land area that for the most part is unknown. I think the company is about to drill near known deposits to expand what is already known.
Should we be in production, meaning that we would have net cash inflow then I suspect (heck I an certain) the company would explore the remaining claims to find out what is there.
Do not let your emotions ( er wishfull thinking) dictate your logic. Cheers, Ed.
