I went to him with one question only and that was:

Is there any loopholes that can be used by Noront to delay assay results to help corporate objectives.

His answer was a resounding NO! He explained that they do not do NR for 1 or 2 holes but rather for big batches and this implies a lot of work at every level before getting to the NR stage. He did say that ActLabs was getting ready to turn on their equipment in ThunderBay and that this will speed things up shortly.

I stated that I believed they were up to 30 holes at E2, that they kept drilling during break up where others packed it in. They continued to spend millions per month on this one anomaly and so E2 must be substantial. He laughed!!! He said of course I cannot comment on that but I can say that when we find mineralization in the ground that we keep drilling to dileniate the deposit.

I said I was dissapointed in a way that 2 drills were on E2. That this meant that E3 was no longer being drilled. He said that they have moved that drill around and have drilled other anomalies in that area. Now when I hear that and I think back of NN words that both drills were in the vicinity of E2, they may be drilling at depth between E1 and E2 or they went back to the anomaly near FNC which is close to E2...Can anyone think of what else is in the vicinity of E2...

I talked about the 3rd drill and he said that NN left this am at 6:00 on his way up there to organise a plan for the 3rd drill among other work.

He finished up with keep the faith and I told him I have too much money and time invested to walk away now and he laughed again and repeated keep the faith...He was in a very good mood as you can tell. I am not sure if a NR is imminent as NN would probably be around to write it but who knows. The main thing for us longs is things are still moving forward at light speed from a mining perspective regardless of delays in assay results!!

Keep the faith,
