From the february.25th exploration update press release:

"The execution of the program is being aided by the employment of 25 local First Nations workers, who will be employed as line-cutters, geophysical surveyors, cooks and diamond drillers throughout the course of the program."

As I said previously, I feel investors here need to connect the dots to see the grand picture that is being painted. Briefly put..........noront is drilling.........federal announcement of huge infrastructure money............FN's are aiding in the exploration program (formed their own company?)........markets showing signs of a recovery.......the list goes on.

I'm not sure if there could be better news than the above. The fact that the FN's are clearly on board is what excites me the most. As i've mentioned previously, I believe in the near term NOT's SP is going to move significantly to the upside. We will see.
