Coswil; You are very right on the notion that Noront Resources is fast becoming the new Standard. And it is also because of the manner in which they are developing the Ring of Fire through the many JV's they are very cleverly creating one very difficult to control (manipulate) New Comer. Now if only the poster from a few weeks ago who I suggested do much more research on the Canadian Mining Industry History could report back on his/her preliminary findings we all may learn more on how good the DE1 Deposit really is. It alone will make Noront Resources a Very Viable Mining and Exploration Company for many years to come. And with the cash flow from extracting the High Grade (actually, the Extremely HIGH Grade) ORE from DE1 Noront Resources will have more than sufficient funds in the kitty to expose many more Ore Grade Deposits in the Ring of Fire.
