"Pumping it" is a bit extreme... It was a statement to get our attention to the fact that most on this forum want to know what Freewest has to say, at least until this merger is done with, one way or the other... I totally agree that Freewest is of significant concern right now because it is explicity tied with Noront at least until December 1st at 5:00.

Marathon Man just wants to know what's happening in regards to Freewest. It is much too difficult to learn anything of substance on the Freewest board. It has gone "over the edge", in MYopinion. I don't go there anymore because there is just too much 'Rah Rah', we are worth 10's of Billions and Noront's "PUNY" offer garbage. To ME, going over to that forum is a waste of my time. I am glad that we can discuss Freewest here.

I wonder if we will be getting a "Christmas Present" this year??? Sure would be nice to learn of any deep drilling finding our "Conduit" at the 1500 meter level and beyond... If we could get a 1 1/2 kilometer conduit and maybe have it 50 X 50 meters... THAT kind of tonnage will start to add up quickly. AND if we can stay in the 2% plus of nickel along with the other "goodies", I kinda like those figures. Then...

Bring in the BIG RIG to drill us down to 2500 meters :-} We just MAY find that GLOB of ore down there yet!!! Dr. Mungal's theory has been correct so far and I like the model he made in the photo section (either here or on the McFaulds hub). IF we ever find that GLOB, it's GAME OVER.

Let's all just take a deep breath again... Way too much animosity flying around these boards lately. Of course the HOOV needs to stay! I think there was WAY to much assumptions turning into facts (relax, Hoov, I'm not talking about you) and then a bit of mud slinging and everyone gets their wires crossed. Man, it's hard to stay on an even keel sometimes.

Let's all remember to walk a mile in the OTHER'S shoes before making any posts about THEM. Then the world will be a better place, me thinks.

God Bless all Noront Shareholders.
