"Last week, SVBN insiders learned that Falconbridge Nickel will soon be announcing the commencement of the continuation of geophysical surveys as soon as weather and ground conditions permit in the spring and that follow-up drilling will commence as soon as data from geophysical surveys has been compiled and targets can be generated. SVBN insiders also learned that Falconbridge will soon announce that, last summer, an archeological survey team hired to document and catalogue sites of Innu cultural significance encountered a possible ancient campsite containing artifacts and bleached bones that were presumed to be from a caribou, butchered and eaten by an ancient Innu hunting party. The items were discovered proximal to the remains of a campfire and it had become a matter of intense speculation as to whether or not the site was indeed one of archeological significance. As such, it would have had the potential to severely disrupt or even halt the entire summer, 2002 exploration campaign. Carbon age dating on the campfire remains were inconclusive, but an expiration date of Nov 98 stamped into some rusty food cans found among the artifacts has offered evidence that the site may actually be the spot where senior Teck and Donner management personnel took refuge when they were stranded for several days by bad weather during the 1998 summer program. The need for suitable scaling objects in photographs of gossans and metaliferous flow breccias necessitated their presence in Labrador at that time. The photographs subsequently proved very useful in annual reports and PowerPoint presentations. DNA testing is now being carried out on the bones to determine if they are human and, if so, whether or not they are the bones of David Paterson, who may have been cannibalized by the Teck management personnel, not so much for their survival as for their fear of losing an ounce of their own body fat. Armed with the advanced knowledge of the pending announcements by Falconbridge that the discovered site no longer had any probable archeological significance, SVBN insiders began buying stock in speculation that the news of the elimination of this potential snag to the commencement of the summer 2002 program would be seen as "positive" by the average investing public with no advanced knowledge of the pending announcements".
