NWI was granted a license to stake reserves on hydro
lands approx 600 claims to northeast and have till
may to complete.This is news when I was in val dor
yesterday.

Brumell,
Some additional info and food for thought:
1) NWI has been hitting consistently 10% Ni grades throughout their Lac Rocher property, this is very significant since Diamond Fields was about 4% at best (some one can correct me if I got this wrong). This is important in the tonnage building equation, 99-1 is the first hole with mineable intercepts of 10% Ni.
2) The next few holes will be 50 meter step outs, this means that chances that they hit mineralization is pretty good, this could confuse to the market, they may overreact and think they got another Diamond Fields overnight. I expect a huge run to around $5 range and then settle back at 4 after the first set of results. Good time for trading and repositioning.
3) THey tested one out of 5 anomalies(sp), if you look at the Raglan deposit, they have 5 deposits scattered throughout their property. LAc Rocher may be similar, I would venture to think that the area play is betting on this factor, that they could have one of these pockets in their property.
4) Food for thought, look at the grades and intercepts for Sutton, the deposit is worth at list a billion dollars, valuation for NWI at 1 Billion would be $20. As you already saw, Barrick is paying $13 for Sutton's 40% on this deposit. See grades and intercepts below, remember, it took 40,000 meters of drilling to define the deposit.

Mr. Michael Kenyon reports
The Kabanga nickel project in western Tanzania continues to produce positive
results for Sutton Resources and joint venture partner Anglo American Corp. of
South Africa Limited. The aggressive exploration and geotechnical engineering
work being conducted by Anglo American is on track to deliver an initial mine
feasibility review by the end of this year.
Working with up to four diamond drilling rigs since late last year, the Anglo
American team have been targeting the existing nickel-cobalt sulphide deposits at
Kabanga for both infill and step out drill holes. Prior to any drilling by Anglo
American, the high grade portion of the deposits at Kabanga were estimated to
contain 12.7 million tonnes grading 2.07 per cent nickel, 0.30 per cent copper and
0.16 per cent cobalt of which approximately 8.5 million tonnes is in the North
zone.
The current drill program is providing a better understanding of the shape of these
nickel deposits and some of the holes have intersected good grade mineralization
outside of the previous deposit boundaries. These new holes could add
considerably to the deposit tonnage and this mineralization is still open. A new
resource calculation to incorporate all of the drill data is due later this year after
completion of the current drill campaign.
The table shows new drill intercepts received to date. All holes are from the North
zone.

* Note: Drill holes 97-02, 97-08, 97-09, 98-15 and 98-16 are intercepts outside
of the original boundaries of the North zone.
Metallurgical testing of the deposits is continuing and work to date is positive,
indicating good nickel-cobalt recoveries that yield a high grade concentrate.
Anglo American has been modeling the potential for a mine at Kabanga, capable
of yielding 15,000 tonne per year of nickel plus associated cobalt and copper.
Sutton Resources holds a 40 per cent interest in Kabanga Nickel Company, the
Tanzanian operating company. Anglo American holds the remaining 60 per cent
interest and is the project operator.
