May I add?;

Given that there have been multiply strikes with varying grades of several metals (Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr, Pt, Pd, Au, Ag,...), it is more a matter of finding additional anomolies that are well mineralized with desireable metals. Many anomolies - few of which will have good grade and/or tonnage.

Given the dynamic nature of the geological mechanisms that caused these anomolies to be created (still not very well understood) it can be assumed that most will have low grades regardless of the tonnages, if at all mineralized sufficiently.

Thus, the question(s) is/are;

Which anomolies are sufficiently mineralized?

What types of mineralization will each sufficiently mineralized anomoly have?

Who has these QUALITY anomolies?

PS: Good prospects else where allows for reasonable fallback positions on esch given company.

Amount of property in the JBL is also helpful, as the more land in good proximity to the geological event zone, the better the chance one or more desirable anomolies being located on a given company's prospects.
