I see from the article that DeBeers is sharing date with the University in hopes that they will be beneficial to both parties.

Several years ago I read a library book about the occurrence of valuable minerals. The author said that very little is known because mineral companies do not share information about the deposits. Good for DeBeers for being brave enough to break with tradition.

I asked Google Maps where Baffin Island is, and they found Baffin Bay, but not the island. Wiki says Baffin Island is the biggest in Canada, so it's got to be the big island just left of Baffin Bay.

Thanks for an interesting thread.
