Good evening to all NOT SH's,

Today NOT did remarkably well in light of todays blood bath on the world markets. It is no coincidence that John Harvey executive V-P of NOT delivered an interview with Agoracom. The interview was strategic in that it served two purposes (bear in mind that the interview took place at approx. 10AM this morning.): ITEM-It served to reassure all NOT retail investors that D.E. I. and WF will ultimately deliver the goods: ITEM- J.H. signalled in the interview that either a PP and/or joint venture would be iminent.

As we witnessed this evening it was the latter. The JV with Seafield is intirely consistent with the way previous joint ventures were structured. (Hawk Uranium, etc.)

NOT will have six drills spinning by the end of January. DO NOT BE FOOLED RETAIL INVESTORS look at the volume, it is extremely low, the institutional investors are trying to shake our shares out of the tree. Stay long on NOT and other area plays (BMK and SPQ etc.) and watch our portfolios grow.

RS.
