Sorry for the off topic banter but I can't stand Friedland getting credit for the Voisey Bay discovery. A company out of St.John's called Archean was under contract with Diamond Fields. They discovered the deposit, set the claims and Diamond Fields did not believe them and cut them off financially. They used their own money to keep the claims alive and do the sample analyses themselves in rented lab space. Not until the tests were complete did Diamond Fields realize that they almost lost the deposit.
