RE: Placer Dome, Corvet Est.Placer Dome sees the potencial here in Quebec and is cutting deals with JR's in the area. With Quebec being very pro minning it is a great place to do business. Big political problems in Peru, Venezuela Chile and China. Majors will pay up for properties in very stable areas. Placer just aquired 50% near Eastmain area in the James Bay area 50 km south of VIA. This area play is just starting, look back to 1994-1996 and the big moves $$$ around new discoveries. We are still early to the party and if gold goes to $500 by end of year Quebec area will be the place to be.
