John, Yes that was the mine they had pictures in the paper last week or the week before and they taked about the potential of the area and how it may make the area a force to be reckoned with world wide. ATV and ASN also did coverage of it.

What is up in Voisey Bay? Don't get the impression that I know anything because I really don't know any more than anybody else who has been following the play and trying to make some money on it. But, aside from whether they have found anything new or whether or when they are going to tell us about it, there are some elephants jostling around and playing some very high stakes poker. Inco, Falconbridge, Donner-Teck, Federal and Provincial Governments and a great assortment of wannabees. And I'm not suggesting that any of the players might be bluffing, head-faking, or trying to outflank each other, but then again how did they get to be elephants? Some 4 billion dollars worth of nickel is stalled in the ground right now due to economics and politics. Inco wants to take their high grade ore elsewhere for smelting and refining. Tobin obviously has other ideas. Are there more high grade deposits? Who will control them? If you knew that you had the goods would you declare it now or play wait and see? Would you bluff the other players to take advantage of opportunities as they emerge? If Donner would have declared the goods on August 15th, 1998, would anyone have cared and would they be in a better negotiating position? Are there other properties that could be acquired by waiting a bit? Is the world economy and the price of nickel going up or will it crash? I personnally consider the following one of the most prospective properties in the play. I predict that many will seek a JV. What will the terms and conditions be? Do you think that Donner is knocking on the door right now? Can Donner find the pots and pans? If they have reached a deal would the insiders want to buy some cheap DML. And if DML was going up while drilling NAI, what would you think? Jilbey--Celtic Property Message 5025283 "Dr. Spector concludes that the high density zone (8 to 10 mgal in amplitude) is 13km in diameter and extends north of Trout Pond (covering approximately the south-eastern two-thirds of Celtic/Jilbey's Block 2). The anomaly is interpreted to be due to a troctolitic unit. Modelling of the gravity data indicates that the high density zone is about 500 meters thick and 1,000 meters below ground level. The Inco deposits are known to be associated with troctolitic rocks. Dr. Spencer also states that the principal result of the magnetic data analysis is that magnetization with an intensity of 200 to 500 gamma is coincident with the gravity anomaly and that they most probably share the same origin."

ME SYMBOL: JLB AND CELTIC MINERALS LIMITED ASE SYMBOL: CME OCTOBER 27, 1998 Jilbey Exploration and Celtic Minerals: Joint Venture With Leader Mining Terminated When Donner went on vacation in August, Leader LMN.A tanked and has not recovered. They decided that the game was too rich for them based on what they could see at the time. They did not drill a hole. Now the best piece of undrilled property is open again-Unless it has already been snapped up.

They may have just struck some good stuff on Friday and the word leaked out or was leaked out or whatever. Time will tell. Let me know what you think.
