Seems like the same folks looking for something, Ken stalked and a week later Vale surrounded the North Lucky...now how does that happen unless you have been looking in an area for a long time..just a bit down the road.....So the major exploration for Cu on the Bona Vista had a lot to the geosurvey group in the newfie mineral department...the same folks that did the maps and a reports....

The presence and abundance of the red beds is important as the
primary source of copper. A number of the occurrences and lake sediment
anomalies are close to the basaltic basement and red beds. The prominence
of red beds with the basalts and in the overlying stratigraphy indicates
sufficient “source rock” for copper. (Copper loosely attached to hematitic
minerals would easily have been picked up and transported by oxidized,
hyper saline formational fluids. Tom Lane with the aid of Carol Seymour, Leon Normore, Julie
Labonte, Tim Stead and Brent Thomas produced a detailed map of the property
and carried out detailed sampling and prospecting of the Blue Point horizon.
Extensive areas of the shoreline were mapped in coordination with Sean O’Brien of
the Newfoundland and Labrador Geological Survey. Mike Basha, the Cornerstone
exploration manager, coordinated the staffing and program schedule. Periodically
through the season Tom Lane met, toured and “brainstormed” with Mike Basha,
Jon Thorson, Sean O’Brien and Jim Franklin.
