From Dec. 13th N.R..... "20 selected samples (from holes 1, 2 and 5) tested for entire suite of PGE's, preliminary results show presence of Rhodium, (highest value greater than 1.0 g/t Rh), and all samples now need to be retested for Rhodium and other PGE's."

And here's yesterday's NR....my favorite parts of the NR are in bold.

"Twenty samples from holes NOT-07-01, NOT-07-02 and NOT-07-05 were selected for Precious Group Elements (PGE's) as part of the ongoing evaluation of Eagle One. The samples were selected on the basis of initial platinum and palladium content, nickel and copper content as well as lithology. The samples initially underwent analysis for rhodium at ALS Chemex laboratory in Vancouver B.C., then lab-splits of the same sample set were sent to ALS's affiliate lab in Australia, and additional splits were sent to Activation Laboratory in Ancaster, Ontario. The test work recently received confirms that other PGE's are present in Eagle One and now need to be analyzed for on a regular basis. Variance between the two laboratories was within acceptable limits. The test-work included three consecutive samples selected from Hole NOT-07-05 between 111.5 meters and 115.6 meters down-hole. This 4.1 meter section averaged 3.2% copper, 3.62% nickel, 30.2 g/t platinum, 15.95 g/t palladium, 3.3 g/t gold, 8.1 g/t silver, 0.84 g/t rhodium, 0.15 g/t osmium, 0.21 g/t iridium and 0.42 g/t ruthenium. Noront will now be assaying previous samples from Eagle One for rhodium and completing additional assaying for the other PGE's on a regular basis, to determine ratios of the other elements with respect to rhodium assays."

If the above assays and future assays also contain rhodium and the other "iums", DE1 will be a very rich deposit. This kind of news should gain some serious worldwide attention, IMO. But first, we need to show continuous content of these "iums".

I was hoping to see a table of the "ium" results, per core sample, in the NR....not that I'd know what to do with that info., mind you...lol. But it would interesting to see.

Good to see Rockaur (great work, man), JSQ and my late night buddy, Old Joe, back on the board. You're postings are always informative and full of flavor.
