Hi, Paul.

PE> So when's the announcement due now?  Ideally I want to pull my sell order 1
PE> week before the announcement.  BFN.  Paul.

The announcement from Vietnam, if it happens, should now be within about
2 weeks. I have heard nothing that might indicate either a favourable or
unfavourable decision by their government.

The explorer of the 3 rivers prospect, Troy Resources, have their annual
general meeting on Thursday. It's possible that they will announce their
latest drilling results at that meeting. It's possible that they will be
very good.

Plutonic Resources picked up 10% of NTS in a recent placement and may
have been accumulating a further stake on market. They may want to
acquire the whole 3 rivers site. Troy are unlikely to sell but may be
happy to have PLU as a partner. PLU could go for NTS.

There are other sites in the area in which NTS is in partnership with
various other miners whose price has been rising steadily recently -
Julia, Roebuck.

Thursday may be an interesting day.

Regards, fIM.
