For those going to the conference, there is some key information that retailers like us would love to know. For instance, during the FWR merger bid, NOT had four drills poking holes in Eagles Nest, at least one of them a deep drill capable of getting to 1500m. We all hoped that there would be assays from this current drilling to propel the share price so that NOTs bid for FWR blew Cliffs bid out of the water. NOT released some information but it was not good enough. I mean, the strategy was twofold in my opinion, Plan A was to actually acquire FWR, and Plan B was to create awareness and value for the ROF chrome and other commodities. Looks like we wound up with Plan B which is still a win in my opinion.

However, we are now back to Eagle and Nickel as well as AT12 and nickel. There is quite a bit of drilling accomplished with not a murmur from the company. Anyone at the conference, please badger some info on whether we have hit anything during the "missing weeks." Surely, there is a press release imminant on all this activity, unless of course there is nothing significant to report. This would surprise me because the orebody has consistently high grades and is continuing downward. Maybe the blackout is deliberate so shares can be slowly and steadily accumulated, which would not surprise me given the history of this stock.

WE still have enough chrome to be a small scale consistant producer of high quality chrome. What is Noronts plan on developement now that Cliffs is committed, and believe me, Cliffs will develope chrome in the ROF.

We should be preparing to get this drill going that will test the 2000m level. When will this start and how long till we get some results. It has been a long couple of years. 2010 will make us or break us, and the sooner the better.
