"The troubles began in March when Diamond Fieslds recieved the results of its first airborne survey of the Labrador discovery, which suggested the presence of a massive mineral system with the potential for multiple ore bodies. If the survey was right the rich ovoid discovery that had so dazzled the mining industry might be only one of several buried ore bodies at Voisey's Bay. It was explosive information that might takes months of drilling to prove. Until Diamond Fields knew for sure, company officials agreed that geophysical readings or signatures of the area would be treated as top secret. Unauthorized outsiders would be denied access to their data area. Diamond Fields did not want investors to have access to what they regarded as inside information about the deposit's potential. Nor did it want competitors to use the ovoid's signature to assist thier nickel searches on nearby claims , or to make unofficial estimates about the deposit's ore reserves."

...........Sometimes quiet secrecy is a good thing.
