"not using huge unsubstantiated numbers (+60 Billion for example"
What unsubstantiated numbers?
The 60 billion dollar resource of the ring is a known resource backed up by drill results. Where have you been all of that time?
Those that are using such excuses probably know less than you, and the public is eating up the noise from the doubters.

What is not substantialed, and on occasion suggested, is that the Ring May have as much as twice to three times that value in the ground. But it needs to be drilled and proven. That is why Noront's huge claim hold in the Ring is such a big deal.
