Ok sag4tag...first, looking back at my post you are referring to....I did say...and I quote "first Mac appears to trump NOT's chrome deposit through FWR"...note the word appears, as this has not been verified yet.
Now, second....with regards to FNC...three things...
1) Nobody has yet to explain this big run up of NOT and FNC on July 15 & 16...no news since seems to explain the runup of FNC. Before that time it was trading at .15; it is still trading around the .50 mark.
2) You ask a valid question...why doesn't NOT make a move for FNC? My understanding is that the shares of FNC are closely held and NOT could not get 50% without freeing up shares from insiders. The other thing is that if NOT made a move for FNC, would that not be like letting the cat out of the bag? Would people not wonder what it is they know, that they would make such a move.
3) People have written way back (for those who have followed for a long time) about a ghost bridge from eagle one onto FNC's property. That has yet to be proven/disproven through any deep drilling on FNC property, or even on the NOT/FNC border for that matter....some drilling, but not deep drilling.....why not deep drilling?

Hope that explains clearly my thinking on these topics.
