And Now For Something Completely Different

posted on Nov 12, 2009 10:16PM

It is understandable that most dialogue of late has centered around the topical issue of merger/consolidation.

Taking a back seat amongst the majority of these discussions is the "bread & butter" of each ROF player, namely exploration and ultimately results.

Occasionally, I do enjoy going back and revisiting older news releases. It is a good exercise in that it is an escape from the day to day stuff here and at the same time, it reminds me why I am here. (and what might be forthcoming)

Below is a recap of highlights of NOT N/R's from the last few months:

21-May	Drilling resumed at Eagle One - 5 holes (2,286 mrs) June 29 N/R
29-Jun	NOT-09-049 visuals - B: 269.54 - 510.69 mtrs & C: 749.7 - 945.67 mtrs
29-Jun	NOT-08-045 - deepened in 2009 - 46.12 mtrs Ni, Cu sulphides
29-Jun	92 holes complete on the BB deposit - 25,477 mtrs of drilling
29-Jun	Micon Int. contracted to complete NI 43-101 on BB 1 & 2 deposits
29-Jun	3 drills turning - Eagle One, AT12 and Oval Lake
29-Jun	No drilling on Eagle 2 since 2008
29-Jun	BHEM on several deeper holes at E2 has been completed
29-Jun	19 holes completed (4669.5 mtrs) on Northern Claim block - assays pending
6-Jul	Assays for 30 holes from BB 1 & 2 released (30 holes outstanding)
6-Jul	NI 43-101 expected to be complete in fourth quarter 2009
6-Jul	Total 154 holes (52,344 mtrs) drilling at the BB's
6-Jul	3 drills turning - Eagle One, AT12 and Northern claim area
5-Aug	Assay results for hole NOT-09-049
5-Aug	3 drills testing the extent of the mineraization below E1A
5-Aug	All drilling is utilizing directional drilling tools
5-Aug	All completed holes are surveyed using down-hole electromagnetics (EM)
31-Aug	Final 30 holes of BB assays
31-Aug	41 holes re-sampled to allow for more accurate modelling of the deposit
15-Sep	Assays for 9 holes at Eagles nest (NOT-09-51 - NOT-09-58)
15-Sep	3 drills testing mineralization to a vertical depth of 1,000 mtrs
15-Sep	1 recently added drill with full time directional control capable of 1,500 vertical
15-Sep	Directional drilling equipment onsite - more efficient and less time consuming
15-Sep	All drill holes are currently evaluated using Bore Hole geophysics (BHEM)
15-Oct	Assays for 9 holes at Eagles Nest (NOT-09-59 - NOT-09-68) minus 64
15-Oct	Assays for Pt and Pd incomplete
15-Oct	3 drills testing mineralization to a vertical depth of 1,000 mtrs
15-Oct	1 drill added pre-Sept.15 testing mineralization up to 1,500 vertical mtrs
15-Oct	1 recently added drill with full time directional control capable of 1,500 vertical
20-Oct	Assays including PT and PD released for holes NOT-09-59 - NOT-09-68

Much information can be gleaned from such an exercise. Here are a few from my perspective:

-assays have been provided for roughly 20 holes that have been drilled in the last 5 ½ months. (what hole do you figure we are on now? – I would love to hear a few educated guesses)

-the first deep drill was added before Sept. 15/09 – almost 2 months ago - by virtue of BHEM being utilized on all drilled holes…

-There has not been any meaningful updates for approximately 1 month but in light of the current going ons, I am not surprised.

I would welcome any meaningful insights as to the above.

While revisiting some of the recent releases, it was thought provoking to see some of the highlights of each release:

Sept. 15/09

Hole #NOT-09-53W1 intersected 54.7metres (873.3- 928m) averaging 2.31% Ni, 1.91% Cu, 1.43gpt Pt and 5.77gpt Pd
Hole #NOT-09-56 intersected 68.6 metres (526.4-595m) averaging 1.99 % Ni, 0.94% Cu, 1.05gpt Pt and 3.57gpt Pd
Hole #NOT-09-57 intersected 50.81 metres (545.2-596.m) averaging 1.94% Ni, 1.05% Cu, 1.38gpt Pt and 3.38gpt Pd

Oct. 15/09

Hole #NOT-09-68 intersected 49.5metres (672.4-721.9m) averaging 2.22% Ni, 0.74% Cu
- Including 5.5metres(716.4-721.9m) averaging 7.49 % Ni, 0.95% Cu,
Hole #NOT-09-63 intersected 14 metres (517.6–531.6m) averaging 2.92% Ni,1.14% Cu, 1.05gpt Pt and 5.21gpt Pd
- Including 3.4 metres (526.9-530.3m) averaging 7.28 % Ni, 1.71% Cu, 0.06gpt Pt and 6.43gpt Pd
Hole #NOT-09-67 intersected 101 metres (530.7-631.7m) averaging 1.75% Ni, 1.07% Cu

Thus far, Noront’s results appear to be second to none in the ROF. I look forward to seeing what recent exploration activity reveals and understand that I will see it when they are ready for me to see it.

Cheers,
