RE: Canada NickelThe settlement is short on cash and long on hopes and dreams. Funny how different people can see things different ways.
As for oil and gas in Alberta, your statement to the effect that "the Brewster area has excellent potential for success" is perhaps a bit optimistic. Oil and gas finds, while generally clustering in a geographic area, can be a very localized phenomenon. Farmer X can have 5 wells on his quarter while farmer Y accross the road may have none. Without seeing the seismic data, assuming there is any, nothing can really be said. Even with good looking seismic results, wells can be a bust. This much I know.
