That would certainly explain the "room full of lawyers". One must ask themselves, "Why would anyone NEED a roomful of lawyers?"

When you think that exploration companies do what they do best ( explore) and mining companies mine, it makes one stop and wonder why the "Big Four" (otherwise known as mining royalty, Lassonde, MacEwen, et al) have moved into the neighborhood. Not to mention they have also taken part in Noront's PP.
Just some more thoughts, I don't know what to make of it all, but it certainly is interesting.
P.S. I notice I have a fan club as of this evening, there is another poster who joined TODAY who is using the handle "quackphobe" not to be mistaken with me, "quackaphobe". I expect plenty of fun & games in that department! Good thing my teflon coating has been re-applied, industrial grade!!
