Food for thought as we wait with zero patience... also from the April Financial Post story:
I think it's the most exciting discovery of the last 10 years in Canada, no question," says mining veteran Pierre Lassonde. "It's got an enormous amount of potential and you've just got to love the grade."
Mr. Lassonde has his own theory. He thinks the geology bears almost no similarity to the Sudbury Basin or Voisey's Bay, but that it looks a lot like old nickel mines discovered by Western Mining Corp. in Australia and Jinchuan Group in Asia. In each case, the largest deposits were found deep below the original discoveries.
"The key will be to first drill on surface* and discover the ore bodies closest to surface, because that's where you will get your money back," Mr. Lassonde says.
"It will take two or three years to define that. After that, the key will be to start drilling down deeper."
He said he will be "absolutely the most surprised person in the world" if the discovery does not get bigger in the months and years to come.
* is this another clue to the slow coming 43-101?
