Wish I could agree with you on the Big Boys needing the PP shares free to trade but they already have between 30-45 million unrestricted shares to play with at the moment. Thus, NO Need to speculate about the June 07,2008 lifting of restrictions on those shares.

The more likely situation is that the manipulator types are simply continueing to put up every road block they are paying very good money to have dreamed up for them. Thus, ALL the extra precaution by Noront Management. I am hearing that Probe Mines is even walking, eating, and sleeping with their Drill Contractor so as to ensure nothing out of the usual happens to their plans to get started on their Drilling of their Mc Fauld's West Claim Property in the coming week or so. Probe is also reported to be reluctant to even say they are almost ready to say the drill is turning until it is actually turning in the McFauld's West Claim Property.

It is so pathetic I would not be surprised if there are not Investigators investigating the Manipulators for the boaldness of their attempts at intimidation.

How bad must they be to be going the extremes they are to interfrar and hamper?

Got to indicate the special nature of what we have in our posession via HOLDING our shares in Noront Resources.

This all seems to be going far and away well beyond the normal though never acceptable manipulation that is alowed and condoned in these Good Independant Explorers.

PS: Pay attention cause one day we will learn a great deal about the real situation as it really is playing out today. May even make the 1870's - 1880's seem decent and polite in comparison. Time will tell all?
