Jimmied here is the paragraph from the April 25, 2008
press release I believe you are thinkning about.

As announced on March 25, 2008, resource studies at the Eagle One have commenced but this work, as well as progress on the anomaly drilling, has been hampered by this extremely lengthy turn-around time for drill core sample analysis. This is due to the current heavy demand on the Analytical Laboratories. To alleviate the slow turn - around time for assays, the Company has entered into an agreement with Activation Laboratories (“ActLabs”), headquartered in Ancaster, Ontario, whereby ActLabs will provide priority processing to the Company in exchange for a $200,000 advance payment used by ActLabs to construct a new lab facility in Thunder Bay, Ontario. ActLabs will reimburse Noront at a rate of $5 per sample processed. At present the new laboratory in Thunder Bay is accepting samples from the Double Eagle project and providing sample preparation. The resulting sample pulps are forwarded to the ActLabs Ancaster facility for final analysis. It is expected that the total analytical process will begin to be accomplished in Thunder Bay sometime in May of this year. Noront anticipates that this will substantially speed up the turn-around time for analytical results.
