Has anyone seen the Wall Street Journal article on Inco and especially Voisey Bay (it appeared last Thursday in section B?) The tone of the article was, to say the least, glum both about Inco and VB's prospects. Particularly galling was the pessimistically wistful comment from Borden Putnam, the staff geologist for Robertson Stephens, the California mutual fund group that owns (owned?) a huge hunk of NVB, and, it seems, was taken in by the Diamondfields spin masters. More important, can anyone confirm the article's assertion that Inco's estimates of deposits were far too optimistic? I've happily lived with the notion that eventually the nickel would be mined, but if the nickel is less abundant, less accessible, of a lesser grade then perhaps I've been living in a fool's paradise.
