>>My brother is working at the Quebec city harbour. I should send him a sample bag and ask him to fill it with some concentrate or matte material from Raglan stockpiled there !!!!!(<< Probably the quickest way to get a result <g>. If Raglan is running 5 g/t PGE, Thompson must be similar... INCO and Falconbridge's best kept secret. Did NWI ever publish any PGE numbers from their property in Thompson, Manitoba? Bruce

I don't know how long that page has been up on Falco's website. Until recently, PGMs were considered secondary. With current prices, if they hold, the equation changes. It also leads to another note. There is a strong and persistent rumor FWIW that Anglo Platinum (former Amplats) is very interested in Falco and have been in discussion with Noranda Group, etc. In view of your comments, it makes some sense. Other reasons in Anglo's background also make some sense for it. With infrastructure in place, doubt anyone can argue with your thought that "Ungava area may be the next PGM play." I believe the 5 - 6 gm/tonne figure is accurate. It comes from a professional type who has worked at the Raglan facility... without being more specific. If you're brother needs any help in the harbour, don't hesitate to call. Perhaps I could drive the truck :-)) Regards, Bob
