QQ - your 'Due Diligence' ('DD') is superb (and obviously a lot of research on your part). The guy who was 'questioning' HSS, maybe disparaging our Dutch friend, was clearly from someone who has not been reading this board for very long (or from someone with ulterior motives to suppress the price of NOT). Great synthesis of info on your part! I think those of us who spend much time on reading these posts realize, as you pointed out, that HSS has been right before in some very important 'calls' before we found out they were verified. He said that Norilsk was staking ground in the Ring of Fire, about two weeks before you confirmed it from a separate contact. He is, at least, to be respected for having a credible source of info. Now that he has given further info, anyone who has a scintilla of sense will realize that to bet against a neighbor's (BMK's) new discovery, and Noront's hit of Eagle 4, is to bet against some very strong data. HSS and others who have greatly contributed to our 'scouting' info, are deserved great thanks and serious consideration IMHO.
