Now you have managed to really get me irritated with your drivel. All Branch intended to suggest was that we open a line of communication with the First Nations communities to make them aware that a proxy battle was unfolding. I concur with him. They are shareholders one way or the other.....either owning shares or because of their inherent rights to have a say in how their traditional grounds should be used and what benefits should accrue to them!!! NOT management and BOD has established an excellent working relationship with them and should be commended and supported for their efforts on our behalf!!!!

Unlike you, I haven't bet my farm, house or kid's education on NOT. Why not? Because I am a conservative investor, who does his DD well, especially in mining stocks and as a mature individual, recognize the risks and rewards. Why?... I have worked full time for over 35+ years in the mining industry, and now, retired, counsel investment houses in mining company valuations on a part-time consulting basis.

Having Presidential classification, I believe that it would be within my power to banish you from this forum. However, I do believe in free speech to a point and haven't exercised that earned privilege yet. Before you embarass yourself any further, please abstain from posting unless you have something worth while to contribute. The members of this forum have extended patience to you, but the welcome mat, can be quickly removed, and I know this from personal experience...trust me!! You have made your voting intentions known again in spite of the fact that I thought that you had demonstrated some maturity by indicating yesterday that you were still open-minded until you had the opportunity to speak to both RN and WI. FOR THE LAST TIME, LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!!!
