Well they did finish the target drilling at Garland Lake and no announcements. That means interesting rock and no mineral. How many other of these deep target probings do they have underway? I had thot there were three of them. Was West Garland/Voisey one or two of the projects down under the VB? EC<:-}

Ok. Garland Lake/West Voisey was/were (chuse yer gramair) two of them and the other two was/were Tasisuak and Kingurutik in Labradory. So, no hit on the VB stuff underneath (SW of VB) and way down in the rock. Electricals are barren. Here is the Tas blurb. The Tas projie is SW of Kinguritik. It was the site of a nickel hit in 1995 by another company exploring nearby Absolut back then, Castle minerals? Or was it Castle and Absolute was on the King project at one time. aha I see below it was Absolut. They had nickel but refused to drill it and explored barren anomalies to the north instead. Minerals are sometimes like crime. Start from the evidence that is undeniable and work outwards until OJ is the only suspect. Go off looking for clues in Brazil and you usually find nada. Note the Copper and Nickel Animal areas are identical almost. The north animal trend that looks like a question mark perhaps prophetically, may be due to the dyke seen going east west. It may also be due to a some smallish nickel intrusions that are co-incidentally in the same fault. This is sometimes seen in other systems where gabbro dykes and kimberlites choose the same breaks to intrude as the dyke systems. Dykes conversely often cross cut fecund mineral areas, as the reason they are fecund are the break systems crossing them in the first place, acting as volcanic vent, or rock host mineral emplacement systems. Nickeliferous dykes are in and of themselves interesting. Copper Animal Map Nickel Animal Map Since Kingurutik and Tasisuak are hard to spell and pronounce I vote we change their handles to the King and the Taz projects. Either that or Kingurjatikayakayakutikotok and the Tasisusisakagycamuk projects. More inuit in flavour. Kinda rolls off the tongue. These are interesting sed anomalies below. I would stake on these. I perused a nickel lake sed anomaly map in 1994 to stake 3000 claims in VB. Non of them were worked on as flake companies bought the claims and only used them for pushing paper. (Gosh I didn't know people did that!) Of interest is the 'loan nickel animal' to the SE of the EW dyke at about 311 ppm Ni. It is in the seds (in the blue) and quite a ways from the dyke. I don't think it is down ice from the dyke or related to it. I would punch a whole in any electrix in the area of that animal or at least launch a search for origins. Origins are a type of nickel animal that brays pentlandite. They are a cross between a donkey and a geologist. CME blurb: "The Tasisuak Lake project is located 75km west of Nain (60 km northwest of the Voisey’s Bay mine) and three km north of a prominent east-west oriented fjord which connects to the Labrador Sea via Nain Harbour. A total of 217 claims were staked for a total area of 5425 Ha. The region was highlighted in 1984 by the Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy (NDME) as having a first order Nickel-Copper-Cobalt lake sediment anomaly and was one of only two anomalous nickel areas in Labrador which was selected by the NDME for detailed lake sampling. Detailed sampling confirmed and intensified the reconnaissance anomaly. Significantly, nearly coincident anomalies of Copper and Nickel area located within the area. Within this zone are found lake sediments which have copper contents of 132, 188, and 203 ppm, and Nickel contents of 143, 154, 180 and 311 ppm. The 311 ppm analysis is higher than any encountered in the samples from the 8048 lake sites of the original reconnaissance survey which covered about half of Labrador (including the Voisey’s Bay area) and was completed in 1978. The claim area is underlain by gneissic basement rocks which include Tasiuyak paragneiss. It is noteworthy that in the Voisey’s Bay area, an E-W trending mineralized troctolite dyke, which host the Voisey’s Bay deposits, are found intruding gneissic basement rocks, including Tasiuyak paragneiss. During the Voisey’s Bay staking rush, a program of very limited surface prospecting and sampling by Absolut Resources was done over the area encompassing the current Celtic claims. The lake sediment anomalies were not explained and ground geophysical follow-up was not completed. Airborne magnetics and electromagnetics (EM) was completed and an obvious E-W oriented magnetic anomaly crosscuts the Tasiuyak paragneiss through the center of the Nickel-Copper Cobalt lake sediment anomaly. Absolut described this feature as "a distinct east-west trending magnetic anomaly coincident with fine to medium grained mafic dyke swarms containing disseminated grains of sulphide mineralization, which reflects emplacement along a major east-west trending fault." Throughout the property there is a strong EM response associated with the northwest trending paragneiss, some of which may be related to the E-W magnetic feature. "
