Great explanation Hoov.
At the AGM, some of us had the opportunity to speak directly with Dr. James Mungall. He is a very "down to earth" guy, and took the time to answer our questions, and explain things in detail.
What you have described is pretty much what he told us regarding Eagle 1.
For those posters who are wondering why Noront didn't continue drilling Eagle 1, I understand where you are coming from, but keep in mind, the drilling at Eagle 2 was responsible for the discovery of the Blackbirds, which I believe will ultimately be worth more than the nickel/copper/pgm. I make that comment, while believing they will find a lot more nickel/copper, as shown with today's NR.
