Hi Elizabeth My name is Brian Fowler. I'm a prospector in the Hemlo Camp. I had to chuckle to myself regarding your reference to Noranda finding the deposit and walking away, so why bother, right? Hee...Hee) NORANDA has explored or drilled practically every showing in Eastern Canada. I know of MANY INSTANCES where some very good mines have been developed by other companies from properties where Noranda had previously explored. That's not to say Noranda is a poor exploration company...it's just the name of the exploration game. The largest gold deposit in Canada (Hemlo, of course) saw 30 exploration companies (many of them were Majors) take a look at the area and walk. The point that I'm making is that new thinking, new ideas, new models and different exploration techniques all add up to locating new ore where ore was not found before. It's so easy to say "that will never become a mine"...99% of the time you'll be right. It's much harder to persit on an idea and make a mine by being innovative and exploring with fresh data and new concepts. Brian
