There are Mine Developers/miners that specialize in Deposits such as Windfall Lake. If the RoF did not happen when it did I expect Noront Resources would have continued to move into that very particular type of Specialization, given what IS THERE! as being their best way forward and through the Credit MESS/Economic Slow Down/ Currency Fear Mongering, etc..
However, given that the RoF HAPPENED, as did everything else, RN and his BoD did make the right decision. Put Windfall on Care & Maintainence, just like they did with virtually all their very prospective Properties around the World. And it is not a problem that they smartly, efficiently, economically, and effectively DID complete the Ramp at Windfall Lake. Windfall Lale's Gold is in place and will remain in place for the time being, with sufficient Security in place to protect it from Miskealp & Co..... I could well join Miskealp & Co. in their adventure once the Winter Snows are all cleares/melts away and Summer Camping is to be enjoyed.
Anyway, Windfall is still there and is in excellent condition to be further Explored once ALL the current Assaying, Bulk Tonnage testing, etc. is completed and an Assassment of the Ramp Exploration is compiled and reported to the BoD along with the typical Recommendations, etc..
As for the reality to the present:
Who is going to work at spoiling the Party the likes of Cliffs and Co. (as I expect Cliffs are not acting alone) are planning for themselves and the RoF?
This will very likely be answered one way or another(s) by who ever FWR has come in the assist in FWR's NEXT Round/Phase of Black Thor/Lable/?!?!?! Exploration.
And I fully expect there to be someone of such assistance by this Falls Exploration Season.
Add to the mix that if NOT does not come up with some very near surface Chromite Hits in the Current Drill Program, FWR WILL be the Go To Company!
Chew on that a while JoHam!!!
