May I add Don Jose:
Besides the world economy, we suffer from the problem of not having most of the necessary infrastructure ( transportation & power) necessary for quick progression from explorer to miner.
The added dilema is that Noront is not large enough to build the infrastructures on it's own and not small enough to be an easy candidate for buy out by a large enough Cap.

Thank you for a very sensible (experienced ? ) opnion. Let me know if you find some silver nuggets too. I own some ECU silver, perhaps it is near your neighbourhood?

Should Noront hit pay dirt, you may not have anything to say cause half of Noront shareholders could show up at your door, lol.
Cheers.
