Message: Board Enrichment

NOT and ROF friends,

In the interest of value posting by a Long ...... (Sum), here is a little something for the board to chew on and digest as part of our geological understanding of all things ROF:

It has been widely known by the geological community that Chromite acts as a collector for PGE's.

This topic is rarely discussed on this board if ever. In fact there are few companies in South Africa that process the tailings and such to extract PGE and have had significant success creating their own "by-products" industry. Recently their was a new patent filed for by which the process of extraction is greatly simplified and yields greater recovery percentages....by a Canadian chap....no less!

You will notice the name of Pro-Or Resources on this filing. In fact upon further investigation I have been able to find out a few things about Pro-Or: (1) They had Canada's first NI-43-101 on Chromite back in 2007 on their Menarik Property, Quebec, a title falsely claimed by current NOT management. (2)Pro-Or JV with Everett (EAR.V) on this Menarik property who coincidentally have claims next to Windfall Eagle Hill property.

For additional enrichment on the subject, I have also supplied the following links:

I believe you can also submit a google search to learn much more on the subjects of collection, concentration and extraction of PGE from Chromite..... you may even discover a few papers written by a professor named ....Mungall.

This post is humbly submitted as an "informative post", as a means of sharing the knowledge I have learned so that others can benefit and broaden their understanding of mineral geology..... whether you own shares or not....short or long.

Happy learning,

mynot
