With all due respect, the "proxy" issue is long behind us. VMS deposits are not the focus presently for NOT. The airborne mag suggests that the rocks in this area are intermediate to felsic volcanics, a horizon which was originally used to delineate the "red line", or the ROF. NOT still retains an interest, but does not have to contribute $$ right now........a good strategic move by the BOD in my opinion.

Lets see if the two BOD's can come up with a similar arrangement re the NOT claims southwest of AT4 and UC et al's McFauld's West claim group for their Au potential.
