You are not just thinking Rich, You Are Thinking, Sum also, and I'm of similar mind.
Noront acting on past surveys exchanged some chromite lands for an area right next to and around Eagle's Nest if I remember correctly.
On the lands around Eagle they have initiated additional surveys, Hmmm Why?
Now they have initiated, though limited additional drilling I believe on the same land. Again why?
I interpret that as them seeing someting and they have said in the past that the region has continuity of the structures along faults so I have to connect the dots.

No Sum, they have not hit yet, that is what the "limited" drilling is for, to test their survey results. Hoping for a hit with one of those drills.
What may have happened is that someone from the surveying company may have said something to someone and it may have reached even to Bay St.
Far fetched thinking but it could hold water.
Cheers guys.
