Getting Punched in the Mouth – The Accidental Mother Lode.

You’ve heard the famous Mike Tyson quote... "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." Well, Robert Friedland had a plan. He was going to explore Voisey’s Bay, a remote region in the northeast corner of Canada. And he planned to discover diamonds. It’s what he needed to put his company, Diamond Fields, on the map—and keep it out of bankruptcy. (His idea for vacuuming diamonds off the ocean floor near Namibia turned out to be less promising.) And then he got punched in the mouth. Because drilling results showed precisely zero diamonds... ... but lots of nickel. Now most people don’t know the second half of that Mike Tyson quote: “Then, like a rat, they stop in fear and freeze.” Only Robert didn’t stop for a second. He went into full executive mode, identifying the top bidders for the discovery. Then he shrewdly pitted them against each other, ensuring top dollar—$4.3 billion, to be exact—for the Diamond Fields that didn’t hold a single diamond. Friedland personally walked away with $400 million. He’s since become one of the most successful mining entrepreneurs in the world. He had no business being successful. Zero diamonds have ever been found in the entire Labrador region of Canada. But when he got punched in the mouth, he leapt up and punched back—hard. That’s precisely what’s happening right now with another little Canadian company called Starr Peak Mining. They recently began exploring for gold not far from Labrador, in Quebec. Gold had previously been mined on their precise land package for more than fifty years. It was a historically established mining region. But when the initial drill results came back... There wasn’t a whole lot of gold. But there was a lot of zinc. And copper. And silver. So, the management at [(Starr Peak Mining (TSX-V: STE | OTC: STRPF)]( dusted themselves off—and swung back. Even better, they’ve got a lot more going for them than Robert Friedland did in his day. Instead of being on the verge of bankruptcy, they have zero debt and more than $5 million in fresh financing. And instead of being in a barely accessible, backwater region of Canada... Their project literally contains an old mining town, with the accompanying power, water, and infrastructure ready to go. You can read all about the company in our in-depth [Research report]( we’ve put together. Whether Starr Peaks sell to a top bidder or mines the resources themselves is up to them. Either way, this is a company you want on your radar. Regards, Venture Society PS: This company is going to be a heavyweight before you know it.
