Hi Kidl, There are several North American PGM containing intrusion trends that seem to run sort of south-west to north-east in broad terms. One runs down the Alaska corridor, another the Montana-NWT(Stillwater) corridor, another down the Thunder Bay corridor(North American Palladium), another down the Sudbury corridor(Inco, Falconbridge, Noranda), and another down the Labrador corridor(Voisey's Bay),....there are probably many others, and these are broad relationships that may be continuous or not. Some continue to other continents,...Alaska links to Russia, Sudbury links to Finland etc. All the above comments are theoretical, but you can follow these trends and see that DST has grabbed ground near several of these area plays, but that can mean little in the PGM game. Most PGM's come from a handful of mines. You have to prove up a lot of tonnage to make the mine worthwhile to develop,...but that has nothing to do with the spec game (ggggggggggggggg). A double is possible at any time on an interesting drill core. The latest one (Corhill, NWT) that includes Uranium in the rock has a problem,...most smelters will not process radioactive ores. The radioactivity prevents the other smelted metals from being used in products humans get near. For instance any silver and coming from such a batch would include some radioactive contamination, and if that silver was used to produce photographic film, spots would form on the film from the radioactivity. Perhaps that is why Cominco let it go, even with those incredible concentrations of silver and PGM's etc,...not enough Uranium to make it worthwhile, and not much chance to cash in with the other metals. A metallurgists nightmare.

Every time i see the name Denstone i think Dentonia - if enough people do that it likely knocks a nickel off the shareprice right there ... well you got a great post out of russett ... and a clear indication from teevee that he hasn't any yet -g- ... what would WillP know of the background of people and properties etc i wonder - Message 15666226 1.7m out - cdnx.com ... remember back in the olden days when that was a fairly normal share count? ... now 20m is considered low ... of course it will climb ... wooo - traded 464k wednesday, what's up with that ... there's a story coming, isn't there Other threads - as PGMs it doesn't fit on Gold and Silver Mining Stocks ... no, don't know one any more ... we used to use Winspear as a centre, probably wouldn't work now .... pick it in Al's contest tomorrow maybe, might get some reaction that way ... the mining threads are so dead lately, and there's no reason for that ... it's not just SI but SH and SW as well ... strange.
