Boy, it is seemed to get testy here last night. Let's keep our calm and respect here. That damn PEA delay has everyone on edge.

I re-read a good chunk of The Big Score yesterday, so many siimilarities in the Diamond Fields story to ZEN. Funny though when they hit hole #7 which was the first 'massive sulphide' hole, the on site geologist first thought they had hit a long core of graphite which they said would have been 'not that valuable'...lol

Although Friedland had almost nothing to do with the discovery, it was interesting how he took over from that point and started hiring experienced mining folks because he knew their maximum leverage for a buyout (which is what he wanted) was to talk up and show that they would take it to production. He also made moves to ensure, or try and ensure they had a biddiing war. It was also interesting to read how many inquiries they started getting as soon as the discovery hole was released. From Inco's standpoint, they started looking into it as soon as they saw the release.

Falconbridge actually had the property as a prospective target the previous year to DF dicovering it but they had cut back on exploration budget and set it aside for the future.

It is a great story for those who have not read it.

It is a reminder of not only how rare these type of projects are but how accidental the discovery often is.

Hopefully we get the PEA this week and we have a pile of new information to digest and discuss.
