Alans Coutts is giving us a Dec. 20th date to look forward to. With Cliff's suspension of op's and all the press releases lately, the ROF is a hot topic. Especially between Queen's Park and Ottawa!

Contrary to the belief of some posters here there will be no slurry pipeline. Noront decided against this some time ago when they updated their revision. The newest plans include two (2) portals (ramps) instead of just one. Good info on changes to EA, etc. to get you up to speed linked below:

Wondering who's got bids in for the heavy equipment so far? I'm sure they're piling up on Alan and Paul's desks.... along with a multitude of service contracts that are just waiting on the infrastructure monies to be announced.

If you are a NOT shareholder, I would implore you to do two things to make you feel better about yourself and your investment:

1. Give something towards the Christmas Fund. - Contact the office for info.

2. Acquire more shares at these levels.

The rewards for these unselfish acts could be two-fold and ten-fold respectively. LOL!

Warm regards,
