Interesting theory. Hope you're right on Starfield completing the curse. I've heard Falconbridge is watching this story very closely and I know there has been some dialogue between management of both companies. I also heard two companies have expressed a strong interest in any concentrates coming from the property should it become a mine, ironically INCO among them. They were rumored to have offered Starfield all of their data from their 1950's drill program in exchange for a right-of-first-refusal on concentrates and a small NSR. I don't know why they would refuse a JV with Homestake in 1987 unless they figured it would potentially be worth more to them later with rising PGE prices. But to give up on the property roughly 4 years later makes no sense at all. People close to the company say it was because everyone familiar with the property had retired from INCO and it was essentially forgotten. We have the name of the lead geologist who worked the property for INCO in the fifties. He's retired and lives in the Eastern U.S. somewhere. SWW was working on trying to track him down. Hopefully he'll post the name and the location so someone from the thread can contact him. It would be a great interview to see what his thoughts are today.
