To let people know about the INCO involvement this is the story. When Nuinsco was looking for investers to continue the program and we had just drilled the Nickel zone Diamond Feilds the company that discoverd the Voisey Bay ore body (which is only Nickel and Colbalt) was going to sell it off to the highest bidder and Mr. Freidland (hope it is spelled right) was looking for a new play. He liked our find and put up $2,000,000 for stock and a percent interest with the option to buy $2,000,000 more in one years time. The problem was he ran it through the Diamond Fields company which made it a Diamonds Feilds asset. Well as you know the Nickel discovery we made turned out to be more difficult to chase then we thought and Mr. Freiland was having some problems of his own and did not transfer the Nuinsco deal out of the company to his control before he sold it to INCO. I just think he was looking for a way out when it was realized that Nuinsco was not going to be a quick turnover for him. So Inco inherited NWI as part of the buy out of DFR. They quickly appointed directors to NWI board and did not even have the curtiscy to tell NWI about it. INCO idi not even have a controling position in the company and they just walked over proper channels. This really pissed my Dad off who hates INCO with a passion, he even wrote a letter to INCO's president because he knew that this was some underlings idea. The two guys it turned out my Dad knew of when he used to work for INCO and they were complete boneheads he said, (this has been verified by other sources in mining as well). Anyway INCO sent some guys, supposed geologists to the property to study the core. They spent all of two days there and told us we had everything figured out all wrong and that it was this way. After this little visit we never heard from INCO again to my knowledge. The way the deal was worded with DFR was that if they did not take down the second $2,000,000 offer they would lose all interest in the property and they second stock deal would be null and void and all they would have is the original $2,000,000 shares. All of us wanted INCO out because none of us had a use for them so NWI kept asking INCO what they wanted to do, and they would not say and the one year deadline was getting closer. This is when INCO totally screwed us and killed our stock all in one day. We figured they would stay in so we were kind of counting on the money to continue exploration. On the last day for INCO to take down the option and give us the money the released a news release which said " it would not be in INCO's best interests to pursue and deal with Nuinsco and was there terminating the agreement and would work with Nuinsco to sell off all the NWI stock they had acquired through the DFR deal". In one motion they left us high and dry and we had to scramble to raise money to continue the work, and because of the way the release was worded it sounded like the NWI property ways not a good property at all and had no real potential. NO FUNDING and SLAUGHTERED THE STOCK PRICE all in one day. The REAL reason INCO left was because the buying of DFR had drained their bank accounts so much that they would not be able to pay for the environmetal impact study as well as other required studies needed before a mine goes into production. This was part of the deal signed with DFR that they would inccur the cost of these ONE year after it was announced that we had a discovery and were going to mine it. INCO knew we were close and that when DOUG HUME would soon come asking for the money for these studies which could run anywhere from 20 to 40 million dollars. No way they could of payed that after the DFR deal. So INCO ducked out in the final hours leaving NWI with 95% interest in the property ( they bought back the remaining 5% from Western Troy later ). INCO is COMPLETELY OUT!!!!! YAAAAAHOOOO!!!! We will just sell it to them when we make the discovery for 4 billion as well, to think they could have had it for $2,000,000, bet they signed those docuements in PENCIL too cancelling the deal to stay in. The directers are also gone. To put it bluntly INCO has no say, no involvement, no % interrest, zip, zero, nothing!!! Good ridense to DEAD WOOD. As for you Ni inquiry we know the Ni is faulted off to the west and comes to a point to the east and that this structure when it flowed in came from west to east. There has been a shift, the fault runs north south nearly perpendicular to the Ni- PGE mineralized zone and we are not sure if the movement was up or down on the other side and how far north or south the other side moved, (remember no outcrop). The Ni-PGE occurs of the south side if the 17 gold zone and seems to paralell it in the west east directions and the two zones actually come together on the eastern edge. What came in first I do not know. The problem with the geophysics and the bore hole IP has been the rock is so heavily mineralized that when you are reading you are never off the structure so we have no zero point or refernce point. You should go out and see the core racks all you see is sulphides from trace to massive. We do make it work but the it is hard to get it right. IP says they get big reading at depth so maybe we go deeper? I would like to clarify something right now as I have just read over this - I work for the Diamond drilling company which has been hired by Nuinsco to do the drilling, I do this in my summers as I am a University student working on my third degree in Sciences. I do not work for Nuinsco. I just want to clarify that when I use the word WE just to get the point across. Any other questions feel free or if I did not explain this one correctly enough just post your response on here. Be sure to read your annual report.
