I see the night shift has been active. Very good posts and finally some light banter returning to the forum.

Yesterday was quite a day. My only regret of course is Roos. We all have our opinions about everyone else. Many like him but some don't. The point is that he contributes too much (like him or not) to lose. We will need to find a way to rectify this.

When this forum has a Great Debate as we did yesterday and similarly before the take over attempt (that worked but didn't work) the board acts like a beehive with a bear paw in it. Thats democracy in action friends. I think that just about every poster has had the opportunity to express themselves and I have several pages of pms from most of you.

Today its official. Cliffs has signed on the dotted line. This news is Epic. Its Monumental for the ROF IMHO. With Cliffs making this move, other majors will take note. The timeline is closing and if the other Majors don't make a move, they will be left out. I seriously doubt that any major would wait much longer.

At the moment it appears that Cliffs has its sights set on SPQ, FNC, BMK and of course FWR. This is what I have been able to gleen so far.

There are a few more Majors in the area and I'm sure, doing some DD. Its still early but amazing that in 1 year we have drilled and found what will be the largest chrome deposit on earth. Just wait and see...:) Not only is it the largest, it is of excellent quality. We are in the greatest country on earth whose banks are solid and whose work force is second to none. We have Canadians well respected all over the world.

I want to thank everyone for your contributions. You all make things very easy for me as well as each other.

As for the hub leader, Carlos, I know its not a contest...:) but we do need cool heads. We should have 4 cool headed individuals and they need not be men. We have some great women on the forum. Lets not dismiss them.

Have a great day everyone.
