Yes Kelsee, your Post makes a lot of sense, especially what has taken place lately.
I was trying to dig up an old news release, I believe it stated that Noront and Freewest and maybe the other JV partners, KWG & SPQ had signed a statement that they were going to co-operate and share information in the ROF.
I guess Freewest shared too much information with Noront re, the hostile bid.
What gets me, this was not even a professional way of doing business.
The more normal way is, you phone and make an appointment and a set a date for discussions.
As far as some sort of consolidation with the ROF players, I feel that Freewest, Spider, Kwg, UC and Fancamp ( THE ROCK PACK ) would make a very good team.
Yes, there can be more than one Company Mining this area, in Sudbury there are a few mining and quite a few exploring. This has been going on for over 100 years and the area here is small compared to the ROF.
Noront's bid has certainly heated things up and only time will sort things out and hopefully in are favour.
Have a great nite......RL
