One more thing to note here is that we identify Vale with Iron Ore competition to BHP/Rio/FMG trio in Australia, and we overlook the fact that Vale is the second larget Ni miner in the world behind Norilsk....so they know their Ni in and out...

of course, just the fact that they are interested will not make Mother Nature to plant some Ni in the FR but they have a knack of finding the best Ni resource in the world and that same team is sniffing around our minnows (even SIR is a minnow compared to Vale).... this pretty exciting... they can keep looking out for the motherlode while swallowing up any other junior explorer out there who reports a decent find...

this is a possibility and this removes the need for an explorer to worry about how to get the mine operational... all they now need to do is to just drill, drill and drill to find the sweetspot and Vale could notice them... makes the crystalization of profit much more easier now IMO....
