Wes Hanson, Noront's CEO states, "Results at AT12 continue to indicate the presence of nickel-copper sulphides. Our additional drilling, coupled with down-hole geophysics and a geological review led by Dr. James Mungall, all offer the potential that a larger, higher grade deposit is situated nearby." Mr. Hanson adds: "The seasonal break allows our field crews the opportunity to recharge and refocus while the assay backlog is eliminated. It also provides an opportunity for our geological staff to work with our geophysical consultants in evaluating the results to date and, if necessary, adjust the drill program in the new year."

So the assay backlog is still messed up?This excuse didn't really pan out as a reason for the seasonal break.Why didn't they do the SQUID survey then,when ground was hard?

The mineralized intervals do not represent true widths, which cannot be determined at this time. Results for platinum and palladium grades were incomplete at the time of the release and will be reported once they are available and have been reviewed

So if the assay lab needed to catch up(we even went what?3 more months through a blockade.Still need more time?), and a reason for us to take a break from drilling was to let this happen.Is it still backed up?Where are these assys?

Haven't got to the iums and gold.

So what happened to the information we were given in this release besides the results from the six holes?

NOT says labs need to catch up,but the labs didn't.

NOT says they will release the PGE's from at whe they are available.It's 5 months from this release in 3 days.

NOT is the slow one YOU or the LABS.

We just want to know!!!!!!!
