Hi

It's seems to me that for their entire reign as Co-Ceos , Hamilton and Parisotto did very little to promote NOT. In fact, I think they intentionally remained silent and aloof from shareholders and retail investors, while perhaps casually diverting important information to Hedge Fund buddies/institutions and potential partners.

The above is my personal opinion, but as wise Snug suggests, we better be on the alert. After a courteous honeymoon period for Mr. Hanson, we should examine carefully any info that links Hanson or our BOD to Kincross, Barrick, RBC or any other entity ready to perhaps grab NOT at these manipulated, depressed stock prices. Yes, I'm a little leary of all this "behind the scenes" past, personal connections.

Good point you remind us of, Snug... As 10% owners, we can call a Special Meeting, if it's warranted, anytime in the future.

Quack, your real estate analogy was exact! I feel probable initial intent of Rosseau and pals was to drive down NOT's price ( by silence and dismissing its potential mineral value ) grabbing cheap stock, taking control , and then selling it to a fully informed Major for a fast buck. Their game plan was halted when shareholders fought the proxy battle. .. Maybe this intent still remains, I surely hope not, but let"s give Mr. Hanson an opportunity to prove differently. We've been patient for so long, we can be so for a little longer. We've let him know that we want him to succeed.

A major Nickel strike anyday is possible, and would surely erase all the angst!

Happy Weekend everyone.
