I respectfully suggest you ask yourself, "What kind of investor am I?"

You are invested in Freewest, a speculative Venture Exchange company (same as Noront) , so why would you want to trade your shares for a Cliffs style company?

Why did you invest in Freewest in the first place? I think the majority of current FWR shareholders originally invested because of the proximity to Noront's August 2007 Eagle 1 discovery. You wanted to invest in a Ring of Fire area play, so here is your chance to stay in the ROF, and in my opinion, upgrade your investment.

Some of you will remember that I was very vocal against Noront's current BOD when they manoeuvred Richard Nemis out of the CEO position. My thoughts on that have not changed, but I am here to make money, and I believe the "new" guys are going to do just that for me. As others have wisely pointed out, as an investor, you need to have the discipline to overcome emotions.

I sincerely wish you the best of luck with your decision.

Holding with confidence,

Canseco
