khareema,
I'm in a similar position as you are: a one pennny change in SP is more than a thousand USD change in my stock account. If Noront were to drop to zero because it was a Bre-X situation, I would not have a major problem with retirement because there is a lot more "there" there. On the other hand, if NOT-V were to go to $10 in September, I would retire. I would enjoy that, and hope that the first nations benefit in an equally large way. I suppose there are a lot of retail investors watching what happens.
My own guess, and this is a very uneducated guess, is that a Chinese nickel major will step in and pay a small multiple to current prices for the proven and probable reserves. It's a good option on long term market demand.
At this point, I would probably be happy with 3 or 4 times current SP. But, I could wait.
Take that CLF.
