The Big Score: Robert Friedland, Inco, & the Voisey's Bay Hustle Hardcover – 1 Oct. 1998

I could not put this book down, it is a brilliant read. It was thoroughly researched, backed up by parties actually involved, as can been seen on reviews at the USA site amazon.com.It serves as a sobering warning to anyone dealing with Robert Friedland or thinking about about acquiring a mining property still in exploration phase. You need to build serious sensitivity analysis into your module, allowing for all kids of variables up to the actual production stage. And don't allow a expert salesman like Friedland to hype you into paying more than its worth!

Having worked on the periphery of the mining industry in event management and having hosted Robert Friedland a couple of times I was steered towards this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is an amazing story and a complete eye opener. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to understand mining financing and how huge frauds were so easy to create.

Interesting to learn about Robert friedland story of life

Great book! The true inside story to small miner stock manipulation.

Fantastic book.

Very interesting book on the Diamond fields Voisey Bay discovery.

Para cualquiera que le guste el apasionante mundo de la inversión en minas, este libro explica la historia de éxito del mayor descubridor de oro de la historia canadiense. También explica los entresijos de las mineras y sus dirigentes a la hora de vender acciones y engañar accionistas. El libro me llegó antes de los esperado y en unas perfectas condiciones. Lo malo es que tienes que tener un nivel de inglés alto para poder leerlo, no existen traducciones.

Robert Friedland is the Steve Jobs of junior mining companies. As it turns out, they knew each other, if briefly.Anyone who aspires to high level business negotiations in any industry would be well served to read this book. You may never be "that guy" and I frankly hope you never do, but you probably sit across the table from someone like him all the time.In counterpoint to "A. Reader" (the only 4-star review so far) the book did not start out slow to my eye. Author Jacquie McNish can tell a true story so that it reads like fast-paced fiction. She did a masterful job of research and reporting, then wrapped the whole thing into an amazingly difficult to put down book.If you have interest in penny stocks, mining, or business negotiations, you owe it to yourself to read this one.

Inspired to read this after learning of Robert from Steve Jobs book. Really enjoyed reading this book. I learned a lot about geology and mining. The author does a great job of tying in the science, business, acquisitions, and stock promotion. Robert is a very interesting person. Watch some of his interviews on YouTube. Yes he’s driven by money but he’s also cognizant of the planet and the practicality and necessity of mining.

Loved the book! Now to invest in Peregrine Diamonds! :) Next best hidden secret
