What a warm and wonderful letter, thank you from all of us small retail investors your words are to say the least encouraging. Personally I have been investing in junior mines for over forty years, during this time I have met entrepeneurs, geologists, promoters and investors, each of them had a passion, for some it was to fleece the retail investor, for others the passion was to make as many $$ as possible at any cost and for others it was the excitment and adrenaline rush of finding the motherlode.

Your father is one of the few in the junior mining industry that has integrity and ethics combined with the passion for finding the motherlode and most importantly ensuring the maximum return on investment for the small retail investor.

My family have been fortunate to have invested in Noront at the early stages we did not sell any shares , as your father kept telling us to hold. We trust your father imlicitly and truly believe that there is a huge motherlode still waiting to be discovered at McFaulds , it's just a matter of time. We will not allow any hedge fund or short seller to steal our shares from us or sell this company for less than it's true value. We as retail investors have shown that we can unite and we will do so again if it is warranted.

As investors we await for the return of your father as we know that whatever company he becomes involved with will be honourable.

Please give him our good wishes

Joe
