Good posting, jsq.  We knew that there were some majors involved with BMK's NR, but your in depth elaboration on that was excellent. I notice that you've put a time frame on all this to happen, once the next excellent drill result comes in from the area. I assume that you may mean that Noront will separate DE from the rest of it's properties. Which of course, is our best scenario.

If these big 4 are here now, is it then only a matter of time before DE gets gobbled up ? Maybe they're already in negotiations for that to happen. They HAVE to be seriously looking at NOT, if they've invested in BMK (no bash intended on BMK).

This then, is fantastic news, as you say. I sure would like to be a fly on the wall in one of their offices....thanks again, jsq, very stimulating posting.
