first off. Sorry for the caps. I’m not yelling here. for some reason this format copied for the NOT website won’t let me chacge them? & I apolojize for the formating, it’s always a pain here.

Anyway, while we wait for something to happen. I was curious when was the last time NOT put out drill results & thought I’d go back & check..

Below is a list of all the NOT new realease headings c/w dates of issue.

lets have a look….

2012-07-09 - Noront Announces Additional Drill Results at McFaulds Lake

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 9, 2012) - Noront Resources Ltd. ("Noront" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NOT) is pleased to announce drill results from the winter exploration program at its McFaulds Lake Property, James Bay Lowlands, Ontario.

HIGHLIGHTS

Wes Hanson, President and CEO notes: "The winter drill program successfully intersected nickel sulphide mineralization at AT2 that previous airborne geophysical surveys had not identified. Drilling at AT12 intersected long, down-hole intervals averaging from 0.2% to 0.7% nickel within an ultramafic intrusive measuring approximately 200 metres in width and has been traced over a strike length of 1,200 metres to an average depth of 400 metres. The resulting exploration target (1) may host 150 to 300 million tonnes of 0.25% nickel. Within this exploration target are zones of higher-grade nickel sulphide mineralization with associated copper, platinum and palladium, ranging from 1.0% to 4.0% nickel. The Company is currently examining these high grade intersections relative to the geological model developed for the camp to determine the geological continuity of these zones, an effort that will continue throughout the summer." Mr. Hanson adds: "The Company is also actively evaluating the potential economic benefit(s) related to recent government of Ontario announcements on infrastructure development in northwestern Ontario. Provincial participation in infrastructure development is welcomed news as is participation by other industry partners."

1. The reader is cautioned that:

a. the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature;

b. there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource; and

c. it is uncertain if further exploration will identify a mineral resource.

2012-03-20 - Noront Triples Chromite Resource In Ring Of Fire

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 20, 2012NORONT TRIPLES CHROMITE RESOURCE IN RING OF FIRE Toronto, Ontario, March 20, 2012. Noront Resources Ltd. (“Noront” or the “Company”)(TSX Venture: NOT) is pleased to announce an updated, independent Mineral Resource

Estimate for it’s 100% owned Blackbird chromite deposit at the Company’s McFaulds Lake Project, in the Ring of Fire, James Bay Lowlands, Ontario.

Micon International Ltd. (“Micon”), an independent consulting engineering company, completed the resource estimate. The estimate is classified according to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (“CIM”) Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves which have been incorporated by reference in the Canadian Securities Administrators (“CSA”) National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Indicated Resource 11.2 M tonnes averaging 34.36% Cr2O3 and 1.95 Cr:Fe

Measured and Indicated Resource 20.5 M tonnes averaging 35.76% Cr2O3 and 1.97 Cr:Fe

Inferred Resource 23.5 M tonnes averaging 33.14% Cr2O3 and 1.97 Cr:Fe

Wes Hanson, CEO of Noront states: “Drilling at Blackbird exceeded expectations, resulting in a tripling of the previous resource estimate at Blackbird but more importantly, converting a large percentage of the deposit to the measured and indicated classification. The updated estimate demonstrates that Blackbird is similar in size and grade to the nearby Big Daddy and Black Thor chromite deposits. The close proximity of Blackbird to our flagship Eagle’s Nest nickel sulphide deposit offers exceptional synergies as both deposits can be exploited using the same underground infrastructure, limiting the incremental capital cost while minimizing the environmental footprint. The Company intends to complete an internal evaluation of a northwest

Ontario based mine, mill and smelter facility capable of producing between 200,000 and 250,000 tonnes of high quality ferrochrome annually, approximately equal to current North American imports, which originate from South Africa.”

20120206 NORONT IDENTIFIES NEW NICKEL MINERALIZATION AT MCFAULDS LAKE PROJECT AND PROVIDES PROJECT UPDATE

NORONT IDENTIFIES NEW NICKEL MINERALIZATION AT MCFAULDS LAKE PROJECT AND PROVIDES PROJECT UPDATEToronto, Ontario, February 6, 2012. Noront Resources Ltd. (“Noront” or the “Company”)(TSX Venture: NOT) is pleased to announce the remaining results from the Company’s 2011 exploration program and to provide an update on the Eagle’s Nest Project at the Company’s McFaulds Lake Project, in the Ring of Fire, James Bay Lowlands, Ontario.

HIGHLIGHTS: Nickel sulphide

NOT-11-1G243 intersected 37.3 metres averaging 0.26% Ni, 0.10% Cu, 0.19 g/t Pt and 0.62 g/t Pd

NOT-11-1G244 intersected 2.9 metres averaging 1.01% Ni, 0.02% Cu, 0.03 g/t Pt and 0.05 g/t Pd.

Chromite

NOT-11-1G231 intersected 8.2 metres averaging 39.63% Cr2O3 at a 1.94:1 Cr to Fe ratio;

NOT-11-1G236 intersected 6.1 metres averaging 42.19% Cr2O3 at a 2.21:1 Cr to Fe ratio and

NOT-11-1G239 intersected 11.5 metres averaging 35.88% Cr2O3 at a 2.01:1 Cr to Fe ratio

Wes Hanson, CEO of Noront states: “While drilling to increase the chromite resource at Blackbird continued to return excellent results, the discovery of two new zones of nickel sulphide mineralization, within 500 metres of Eagleʼs Nest, highlights the tremendous exploration potential of this area. Both zones of nickel sulphide mineralization were identified by a new, ground based geophysical survey that was completed in November. In light of the results, Management decided to expand the survey area to include the Eagle Two and AT12 areas and raised additional flow through funds to drill test the resulting targets during the first quarter of 2012.” Mr. Hanson also added: “The Eagleʼs Nest Feasibility Study is progressing on time and on budget as is the resource update and Preliminary Assessment of the Blackbirdchromite deposit. We continue to work closely with all levels of government to identify an environmentally and socially responsible plan for infrastructure development in northwestern Ontario that will allow Noront to meet its objective of commercial nickel production by 2016.”

So with in a 5 month span we had these news releases on drill results. Noront has some big news coming on as follow up drilling programs get under way..

Here’s my question. It is my understanding that once Exploration companies start reporting drill results, they have to continue to release the news on the findings or could NOT have been drilling anytime with in the last 18.5 months & stock piling the results?

Could some, from a “position of knowing” the rules, enlighten me pls.?

Hebe

PS. this format sucks! Makes my long posts even longer. =0)
