The first two contenders that pop into my head are Vale and Xstrata/Glencore . They both have major nickel mining operations in the immediate vicinity with the Raglan Mine and Voisey Bay. There could be some definite advantages to either of them re the use of existing refining and processing facilities to handle ore concentrate from Greenland.There is access to year round shipping and moving concentrate across the Davis Straight would not be problem.The Sentient Group also has the potential to finance this project to production as seen in this investment strategy page from their website. It is noteworthy that VMS ventures is partnered up with Hudson Bay Mining and are in production in Manitoba with them so that could also be a possibility. If NAN can pull some wide intercepts this season there will be no shortage of interest in what they have to offer. It is a huge plus for them that Greenland is pro mining. With a discovery of wider pay zones at depth things could happen very quickly for NAN. Keep in mind that Diamond Fields Resources was only in existence for three years before being bought out at $172 a share. If Nan can find an orebody that generates 10% of that kind of buyout I am one very happy shareholder. Personally I think that property has a whole lot more to offer then we have seen to date. It is exhibiting all the classic signs of a multi zoned nickel deposit exactly like you see at both Raglan and Voisey Bay. I know one thing for sure and that is at 40 cents a share the downside is ...well none and the upside is astronomical. I will take that...
