"Yes, the Eagle 1 intrusion depended on a fault zone for its opportunity to rise from the depths. Faults are natural access points for magmas to intrude into the crust. The main difference between Mangall's and Smith's theories, if I may make that distinction, is that Mungall's has the magma becoming nickeliferous through interaction with the surrounding rock as it intruded into the crust, whereas Smith's assumes the magma was nickeliferous from the beginning. Mungall's has the magma leaving nickel in selected environments, whereas Smith's has the magma potentially leaving nickel whereever it may have gone."

I can see why each of these two have developed their respective conceptualizations. With Mungall's perspective the Mineralization was permitted to congregate into significant Concentrations as it moved upward from deep below by picking up Sulfides sufficient to allow the separation and subsequent concentration of the various minerals as the Magma ate (think of the extreme temperatures the Magma contained at the time of the Event) away at the impeeding surrounding rock. With the pressures in effect at the time, Nickel (all found minerals) laydened Magma taking the path of least resistance would force it's way through any and all weaknesses in the surrounding rock. Thus the laying down of Lenses (aka - pods) through out the path if Magma Flow (a Conduit(s)) and where encountering faults in the Crustal Rock follow these structures with relative ease. With Smith, given his Clames Geological perspective, he would assume Nickle Rich Magma which broke into the overlying Country Rock forming Lenses and Finger/Feather like Zones of Mineralization. And that appears to be exactly what the FNC's Drill Program (what little their program actually was - to date) found. Narrow zones of significant Nickle Mineralization. I expect Smith (FNC) is hoping very strongly that there is/are significant Bleeding of Magma up into/onto FNC Property and equally hopeful that this Maga seepage resulted in the formation of signigicantly large Lenses (pods) of Mineralization accumulation. Mungall (NOT), on the other hand, already KNOWS that there is/are Very Significant (read as large) Lenses (pods) AND a Contuit (carrying the Nickel Rich Magma) found in the Intrusive Igneous Rock (laying to the North/North West of the FNC Claims) all sitting on Noront Resources Claims.

A major question I have is: Where is the Conduit that brought this Mineralization coming from? Within the Igneous Rock? From the Fault Zone - Ring of Fire Intrusion (between the Country Rock and the Intrusive Igneous Rock? Was the Nickel Mineralization Implaced at the same general time as was the Chrimite? Or was it a completely different Event? And if so, did the Nickel Implacement occur before or following the implacement of the Chromite Mineralization Beds?

Other than the above, Will our current Noront BoD EVER give us NR details deserving of our Company? Or will they continue PLAYING this Company (and us, their Share Holders) for every cent they can squeeze out of it before they give it up to Whoever? For WHATEVER?

Come On WES! Make the News Releases Respectable! Provide the Details needed so that ANY reader can properly analyze what we have at each point in time! The Fat Boys need not get so much private Advanced Notice in this Day and Age! You can meet with Everyone ANY TIME via WEB Technology. To continue doing as has been done over the past 9 months does not reflect very well on OUR Company NOR Our COUNTRY!!!
