Bevor ich aus dem Haus gehe nach dem von mir wenig geschätzten Weihnachtstrubel heute noch rasch einige zusammengetragene Informationen zu Noront (NOT), denn schließlich will ja nach dem Silvesterrausch wieder etwas Kohle verdient sein in 2007. Also besser etwas vorarbeiten:
In die Noront (TSX VENTURE:NOT) ist kurz vor Weihnachten noch einmal kräftig Bewegung geraten, im deutschen Handel gar mit +22% am letzten Handelstag in Berlin, in Kanada waren es 5,5%.
Soweit ich es überblicke, sind aber die Ergebnisse der noch ausstehenden 8 Bohrlöcher (NOT-06101 bis NOT-06-108) noch nicht veröffentlicht, was eigentlich vor Jahresende hätte geschehen sollen – nun, einige Tage wären da ja noch Zeit. Bei positiven Ergebnissen könnte das nochmals für einen Kurssprung sorgen, wenn nicht vorher wieder geshortet wird.
Die nächsten Bohrungen sollen ab Februar 2007 stattfinden, die Umwelt-Genehmigungen dafür gibt es aber noch nicht, auch scheinen die Strassen zu dem Gebiet sehr schlecht zu sein und nur passierbar, wenn auch Holzeinschlag stattfindet. Bis jetzt weisen die diversen Bohrungen (die älteren vom Frühjahr 2006 und davor hinzugerechnet) auf einer Länge von 74 Fuß einen durchschnittlichen Goldgehalt von 63Oz/t auf. Uff!
In der Windfall Lake-Gegend bohrt auch die – im Moment deutlich billigere -MUG/FWR wieder ab Frühjahr 2007.
Wieder etwas unter Vorbehalt: Ich glaube, die beiden Gesellschaften haben eine Vereinbarung, historische geologische Unterlagen über das Gebiet untereinander auszutauschen.
So sieht das dann aus:

Dazu die Hausgeologin von Noront:
"The focus of the current work at Windfall Lake is to further assess an 800-metre-square block immediately east of the original Alto Showing where the best gold mineralization intersected to date has been encountered. This mineralized block is open in all directions. Since exploration drilling commenced in 1998, some 80 drill holes totalling 16,345 metres have been completed with 27 significant gold intersections being reported down to a maximum vertical depth of 450 metres. Gold intersections reported to date vary considerably in width and grade with wide drill hole sections up to 22.89 grams per ton over 9.4 metres and narrow sections up to 383 grams per ton over a one-metre interval have been reported by previous operators. Results to date warrant continuing exploration to assess the economic potential of the property close to surface by attempting to establish sufficient reserves for narrow, high-grade mining or wide, low-grade reserves for bulk mining. An independent detailed study including all of the adjoining Murgor Resources Ltd. data is being finalized. The study, it is hoped, will assist the company in further exploration."
Und das jüngste Private Placement vor einigen Tagen (wohl mit viel Geld von Pinetree und Hommel, der fleißig weiterpusht)) brachte 15 Millionen:

Interessant aber das brandneue Aktionärsschutzpaket:
DECEMBER 22, 2006 - 15:01 ET Noront Adopts a Shareholder Rights Plan TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Dec. 22, 2006) - Noront Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NOT) - The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Noront Resources Ltd. ("the Company") has voted to adopt a shareholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). The Rights Plan is being adopted in order to reflect developments in Canada with respect to shareholder rights plans and is designed to encourage the fair treatment of shareholders in connection with any take-over bid for the Company.
The Rights Plan will provide the Board and the shareholders with more time to fully consider any unsolicited take-over bid for the Company without undue pressure. Furthermore, the Rights Plan will allow the Board to pursue, if appropriate, other alternatives to maximize shareholder value and to allow additional time for competing bids to emerge.
The Rights Plan is not being proposed in response to, or in anticipation of, any acquisition or takeover offer and is not intended to prevent a take-over bid for the Company. Under the Rights Plan, take-over bids that meet certain requirements intended to protect the interests of all shareholders are deemed to be "Permitted Bids". Permitted Bids must be made by way of a take-over bid circular prepared in compliance with applicable securities laws and, among other conditions, must remain open for sixty days (...)
Although the Rights Plan will take effect immediately in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, the Company will submit the Rights Plan for confirmation at a special meeting of shareholders to be held within the next six months. Thereafter, the Rights Plan will be subject to reconfirmation at every third annual meeting of shareholders thereafter until its expiry on December 22, 2016. If the shareholders do not confirm the Rights Plan, the Rights Plan will terminate and cease to be effective at that time. The Rights Plan is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. A full text of the Rights Plan will be posted on the Company's web site http://www.norontresources.com. Registered common shareholders will be provided with a synopsis of the Rights Plan, such synopsis to be included in an information circular delivered to each shareholder prior to the special meeting.
