Joe ...

Any poster drinking Macallan's fine Scotch - and especially a LARGE Macallan's - surely must be thinking straight :)

I don't disagree with you at all, actually. If Spider Resources came up with some really excellent assay results - ni-cu or PGEs, the Ring of Fire landscape changes immediately.

I know Neil Novak is working closely with Richard Nemis of Noront, but Neil has some pride, and if SPQ could take a leadership role, I would assume Neil would be happy to do so. But the present SPQ drilling program is a JV unlike NOT's which is on sole ownership land. Moreover, NOT has a large "war chest" of monies from PPs and warrants.

It would be nice to see the VMS anomalies originally found near McFaulds Lake drilled by UC Resources and SPQ. However, I don't see that happening for a number of months (unless someone has any more recent news). It's these anomalies where the nickel-copper will be found, and probably in abundance.

To my way of thinking, whether the PGEs are the gravy and NI-CU is the beef, or visa versa, it will be make for an excellent feast for all SPQ investors - which naturally could be followed by a dram or two of Macallan's and perhaps a good cigar.
