Thanks for picking up on this Keegan
.Excerpts from le penseur's post:
..."It seems that the Noront claims in question, were coming due for renewal, which by law requires a re-staking to be done on the following day anytime after 0900hrs. In a well orchestrated mission, KWG hired a helicopter and a team of professional stakers, to go in (à la SWAT team) and stake the area as per law (four corners counterclockwise starting at the south west corner (I think) and last stake in the middle). Low and behold, just as KWG's team had completed the work and were going in for coffee, they encountered the Noront team who were about to go out and start doing the work. I wonder how that played out...good thing they didn't have guns like at the OK Coral.
Anyway, these claims have a very important operational value, in that they are the gateway to the staging sites, the mining camps of BD, as well as being adjacent to Koper Lake which acts as a landing strip for aircraft year round...
A real coup-de force for those who are keeping score..."
Poor Noront. It's truly a bit pathetic.
