"Shareholders of all companies should have a very strong interest in the outcome of the FWR January meeting and proxy vote. We all need the present offer from Cliff's to be rejected and replaced by a bid that recognizes the value of the FWR, and by association the other ROF players, properties. We cannot let this first player to be bought out for pennies on the dollar."

Yes, I fully agree with that! The main reason I decided to tender may FWR shares to Noront was exactly to protect my other investments in KWG-SPQ-UC mainly... I am deceived with the result, now, Noront success would have better the Consolidation process that is now running. But I was deceived also with the last year "NO Vote to the power to RS", and life goes on.

I may be wrong (those 2 "deceptions" are a sure proof of that), but I think that Cliffs offer is a done deal, and we'll now have to cope with this Chromite geek! Though I would be happy for the FWR retail crusadors if they get an axtra dollar for their stocks, I believe Cliffs has already a drawer full of FWR proxies and pre-signed voting commitments. Sooner than later, we will see what Cliffs' Plans really are on the short and midlle terms, but didn't they state a few times that NOT's underground is kind of worthless for them, so what is in their toughts about Freewest's tiny other neibourghs, especially SPQ with no Cliffs attachmenent and a heavy load of over-strectched stock capital?

I hope that our ole pioneer ROF holdings are not be exhausted by a slow-motion Cliffs game before the Great Takeover Season would comes! What do you think if Neil had already his power to RS in his back pocket for the hot spring to come...?
