John ...

When I last chatted directly with Neil he told me that Noront had been so busy that it had not got its act together.  Neil got a booth on behalf of Spider Resources, which Noront is sharing. 

There is absolutely no malice intended by Neil or anyone else, and nothing should be read into it.  My post on the NOT board was done "tongue in cheek".  There is no conspiracy.  In fact, I expect that both Spider and Noront will be showing "their colors".   :)

By the way, here's the link for the drill core #27.
