He's very busy and was on his way to Sudbury and flying back Sunday night.  Then Wednesday he flies out again to discuss some things with the natives at DE.  John is on his way up to the DE camp on Monday.  I asked how many men we had at DE and he said about 40-45 right now and will increase.  I asked how many men we had at Windfall and he said about 25 right now and will be going to 60.  The Windfall permit was received on Tuesday this week so work is commencing.  Asked about China and couldn't talk about it as he is working on further land and did not want to jeopardize the negotiations.  Sounds good. Talked about the Uranium property and he said he is waiting to see some results as drilling has taken place.  Overall things sound very good.  I'm not sure how Richard and the team are managing such busy schedules but they are doing a great job. As usual I thanked him for his hard work and for calling me back.

 GLTA and let's keep the faith.  IMHO I believe we're in good hands with the Noront Management team.  Tcp
