Fellow shareholders: First, I would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the folks on this forum who went to extrordinary lengths to fight for the little guys who have invested in Noront. I am so sorry that I was unable to take part in the phone campaign, but if the need comes again, I will be there.

I have a significant amount of my net worth in this adventure and I appreciate the efforts of others I have never met to help me protect my investment.

We have proved that we are a force they must listen to, and I suggest that we maintain our vigilance and let the new leadership know that if they move to downgrade the value of our stake, we will rally the troops to fight them.

We must make sure that if they move against us, we are prepared to fight them in the courts if needed - we have the strength in numbers to make a difference.

Lets hope that their motives are not what we fear.

All the best,

Shortty
