From previous news, Noront act as operator for :
WSR, SV, SFF, Lund , 2 JV with Intrinsic , Bold , Passport metal and/or Hui ( not mentioned in News )
Total 8 + 1 , assume each JV has only one drill operating,
Noront needs at least 5 + 9 = 14 drills when VTEM mapping and Geophysics finished, when all in drilling/exploration stage...
in addition,
JV with Temex and Baltic...Temex is the operator ( immense land )
JV with FWR ...... FWR is the operator
Grand total drills : 5+ 9+ 2= 16 drills ...all result will certainly affect Noront share price
So far we have 4 drills on Noront ground...
From BMK forum, I was amazed that the drillers had taken 2 weeks rest after they only started in early July..
An indication that the resources is very ,very tight in DE area..
Not to mention the labs , helicopters so on and so forth....
