There is nothing, not a thing indicating to a buyout.The only one that has shown any interest into the ROF is CLIFFS, and they want the Chrome.They already bought enough of it to last a lifetime, and will probably someday take out SPQ and KWG to get enough for 3 or 4 lifetimes.Why would they want NOT?

Noront is not playing hardball with the natives, i don't know what the motive is, but they don't seem eager to get drilling started.Nothing points out to a byout though, pure speculation and if the big players speculated that, this SP would be going up.
