Your speculation with respect to that other company next door is NOT unreasonable given that they always state they are doing their work in cooperation with Noront Resources. This is a clear indication that they are taking direction and following Noronts lead. All contrary to what the BSers have been claiming. They are not as stupid as their pumpers. That said, I know how careful they need to be as they can have considerable negative effect if they SCREW UP! Old Joe
