i was in between sleeps when my wife told me to talk to the fellow across the aisle from her. as it happens, he is in mining and had just taken a red eye from perth to get the syd/van/to flight. 2 continents in a day is tiring!!

anyway, i spoke with him about a lot of companies and his company and the 5 companies on whose bod he sits.

he was most impressed with not's bod. he is not on this board but he said they put a lot of time and care into getting the right people for the right job. he had nothing but praise for not's present situation and for its potential.

it's interesting whom one meets at 39,000'.

as for not's 'final' offer this am., it's their final offer at .86c !!! nothing is ever final in mining as there is too much at stake.

i did enjoy aurony's read re roos. and should be read by all. i do think lance is taking a hit by fwr investors not willing to see clearly.

cheers to all

canada is a wonderful country.
