It looks as though we (Probe) has been in "Conserve Mode" at least since the Mantis muck up thing last Fall. But at the same time always collecting data and ever refining the options for a very quick Drill Initative should Noront Resources get a move on it by an Outside Interest. Thus, a great deal is riding on the continued extremely good leadership and continual success currently being enjoyed by Noront Resources Management.

Should the NOT Raiders succeed in their ILL conceived bid to steal Noront Resources out from under ALL Noront Resources Share Holders come October 28th, then we (Probe) will have to GET IN THERE AND WORK LIKE DOGS WITH THEIR FEET ON FIRE so as to prove up some substantial Mineralization very quickly.

However, if Noront Resources current Management maintains control of Noront Resources we (Probe) will have to continue on with the "Conserve Mode" currently in effect so as to eventually benefit from Noront Resources continued success and LEADERSHIP in ALL things Ring of Fire.

PS: NOT much good can be attributed to Mantis, nor for any time soon, by the look of things.
