Okay, here it is. Notice I made no personal comment at all and certainly nothing about raising $$ or whatever it was he said.

Like I said, a link and copy paste of what that link says.

Do an advanced seach of all my posts mentioning Handcamp, there are very few.

HISTORY OF EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT


The Handcamp property has been worked extensively. Fryer (1980) summarized the earlier work as follows:

1928-1930 -> Mineralization was discovered by the Central Mineral Belt Syndicate in 1928. For the following two years its was developed by mapping, trenching, electric and magnetic geophysical surveying, and diamond drilling.

1930 -> The property was given as a fee simple grant to the Newfoundland Exploration Company, a company incorporated in Newfoundland to take over the properties of the Central Mineral Belt Syndicate. It was managed by the Swedish-American Prospecting Company Ltd. of New York.

1940 -> A resistivity survey was done (by persons unknown) which identified 5 conductive areas. One of the areas was trenched and ore microscopy done on the samples.

1941 -> Six holes were drilled by the Newfoundland government. Low values of gold and silver were reported.

1955 -> DeGrace (1976) reported that Brinex conducted an Afmag airborne geophysical survey and recorded an anomaly with a 2.0 ratio (400 cycle to 2,500 cycle) near the handcamp mineralized zone.

1956 -> Fourteen holes were drilled by Orenada Mines Ltd. Six of them encountered significant Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization.

1960 -> The property was examined by British Newfoundland Exploration Ltd.

1961 -> Pegler, for C.I.M. Consultants, reported on the property.

1962 -> A.S. Bayne reviewed work done on Handcamp to date, and made recommendations for EMREX Mining Ltd.

1972 -> Neilson, of Dames and Moore Consultants, did a geophysical survey of the property for EMREX Mining Ltd. A ground magnetometer and two EM surveys outlined three conductive horizons, one of which coincided with the original mineralized shear zone.

1973 -> Mann, of Texas Gulf Inc., investigated a grid cut by Dames and Moore. A magnetometer survey and soil sampling yielded negative results.

1976 -> Miller reviewed the existing geophysical data and suggested an IP and gravity survey.

1976 -> J.R. DeGrace of Geological Services Ltd. reviewed all the previous work for the Newfoundland Exploration Company. He recommended that two holes be drilled in the mineralized zone to deeper levels than before and that an additional hole be drilled to test the northern extension of the mineralized zone.

1978 -> Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. optioned the property from the Newfoundland Exploration Company. It was mapped, VLF-EM and total field magnetometer surveys were carried out and seven trenches were dug.

1979 -> Nine shallow drillholes were put down through the mineralized horizon by Falconbridge Nickel Mines Ltd. Consistent but erratic mineralization was confirmed at shallow depths.

The work summary from 1980 to 1983 is taken primarily from Wilton (1984).

1980 -> The property was assessed by B.J. Fryer for Murphy Corporation Ltd. He suggested further work in the form of an IP survey, gravity survey and diamond drilling to depths of 275-350 m.

1981 -> Fee Simple Grant, Vol. 2, Fol. 15 originally owned by A.V. Corlett, was transferred to Pacific Coast Mines Inc. Lewis Murphy had bought the land and optioned it to Pacific Coast Mines Inc.

1981-1983 -> US Borax cut a grid and conducted VLF-EM, Max/Min Horizontal loop EM and frequency domain IP. Soil samples were collected at 50 m intervals and analyzed for Cu, Pb, Zn. Seven holes were completed totalling 684 m. One hole was drilled at the north end of the main Handcamp zone, two in the Central zone and four in the MAC zone.

1988 -> MPH Consulting Limited (Coates and Tremblay, 1988) was retained by Newfoundland Exploration Company to provide an appraisal of the market value of the surface and mineral rights of the Handcamp property.



GEOPHYSICAL EXPRESSION


In 1978 Falconbridge (Ferriere, 1978) undertook an exhaustive study of the Handcamp area. Their mag work indicated anomalous values corresponding to the mineralized horizon. VLF-EM data was inconclusive.

In 1982 US Borax (Burton and Woolham, 1982) completed a variety of geophysical surveys over the property. EM revealed nothing of interest however the VLF-EM indicated minor fault/shear zones. An Aeromagnetic interpretation highlighted three parallel NW striking magnetic features. Two were related to iron formations but the third contains the Handcamp, Bushy Bog and the Boulder occurrences.

IP work indicated these same anomalies plus two others: a lesser one called the Central zone located between Handcamp and the Boulder zones and the Angle zone WSW of Handcamp.

The Boulder claims contained two linear zones resembling the Handcamp horizon. The Bushy Bog anomaly constituted a broad IP zone with amplitudes similar to those in the Handcamp.

US Borax geophysical work (Burton and Woolham, 1983) suggests that the Handcamp and Boulder zones occur at a lower stratigraphic level than the Central zone. Slightly different anomaly characteristics also set it apart from anomalies to the north and south (Wilton, 1984).
