It was nice to see Larry Smith (Vale-Inco) at the CIM meeting. For me, it indicated a relationship and an ongoing communication between Noront and Vale-Inco, and that's all. I honestly can not infer more than that. Basically I think Larry Smith doesn't want to miss out on anything that can be construed as "material". He's thinking smart.

I was more interested in the attendance of Mac Watson (Freewest) who was present at the head table right beside John Harvey. Watson is sitting on some very impressive geology which we all know is in close proximity to Eagle One. And Watson is working closely with Novak on an important drilling program on the Freewest Option. Six drill holes have been completed, two with impressive chromitite results.

My guess - and it is a guess - is that there will be a "hitch-up" between Noront-Freewest-Spider before there's any between Vale-Inco and Noront.

Unless my eyes deceived me, the graphics presentation of Eagle One by Neil Novak shows a very large mineralization potential for just this one MMS anomaly. And how many anomalies do we think Noront-Freewest-Spider have over their relatively modest number of claims?

Mr. Nemis-Watson-Novak - hitch-up them up! There's a few billion to be made!

Snug :)
