Merci JP! Needs more drilling IMVHO. Goes to show you that the market is hungry for another big story.

Lac Rocher may be a good comparison, with the high grade Ni. However the PGEs were much lower I think, and high grade was only locally at the contact with the host gneisses, and just didn't go anywhere to make enough high grade tonnage. Some VMS deposits in the general area too. Host was not peridotite, I think gabbro, pyroxenite and even in the gneisses.

Voisy has lots of cobalt

This may be a hybrid of some sort...the grade is similar to some of the embayment Sudbury stuff (high PGE, Au, Ag), but setting is too difficult to say other than it is near some VMS deposits and there seems to be only peridotite rather than a multi-phase intrusion. I'm sure at least one nickel expert is looking at samples right now.
