.Trev,

"""On the other hand I'd be interested to know whether the original figure on Capital costs, and operating costs for Aber were prepared by the same consultants who have just come out with the much higher figures. Does anybody know the answer to that?????""""

If I'm not mistaken, the original numbers on the Diavik project were generated by one of the Quebec engineering firms closely tied to the Federal Liberal Government in Ottawa....namely SNC Lavelin Group. SNC's numbers appear to have been on the low side by about 50%, but they are The politically correct engineering firm:-))Funny how money and political power in Eastern Canada go hand in hand eh?....on the other hand, MRDI performed engineering work on Ekati and have lots of northern engineering experience...I believe the MRDI numbers will be more reliable and conservative, which is all to the good.
regards,
teevee
