With you being a geologist and all, I was wondering if you would do us a DD favor. I've tracked down the name of the ex-INCO geologist who did a lot of the work in the early 50's for INCO. His name is Bob Chaplin and he is now retired living in Arizona. His phone number is (520) 634-0274. Would you call him and get his impression of the property? I'd like to confirm a few things I've heard about this property and maybe others, including yourself, could post questions we'd like asked to him. I'll start off with the following: 1) Why did INCO let this property go after having it in their inventory for over 40 years? Or conversely, why did INCO maintain this property in their inventory for over 40 years? 2) How well is the property known among Eastern Canadian (or anywhere else, but I suspect more in Eastern Canada) mining/geological circles? 3) Is it true he figures there's at least 100M tons of reserves there? 4) In his opinion are the reserves economical at today's prices? 5) Will infrastructure be a problem? Is it that remote? 6) Does he mind getting the odd phone call tapping his knowledge of the property? 7) Does he know who worked the property for Homestake? Any chance of getting a Homestake name and/or number? That'll do for starters. Anybody else have anything else to add?
