| Your probably right. My question to you all, is now that Kenn has reviewed the Ban samples do they want to renegotiate their deal with cnb. One thing you probably didn't know is that Rory told Kenn months ago, that he didn't like the type of Mineral chemistry that Ban was finding. Rory told them that they will find lots of micro diamonds but very few macros. Thus the economics of these types of Kimb. pipes rarely prove economic. Now that Rory has been proven right, again, maybe Kenn will change their attitude about getting out of the area of interest, and start listening to what the master has to say. I still believe we will be the operator of this summer/fall program in Rocky Island. Personally, I think Kenn is taking this opportunity to take a healthy position in cnb as we speak. Lets face it, they don't have any share interest in cnb that we know of, and have you ever known a major to prove up any type of mineral deposit without having a position in the junior. Answer: Not to my knowledge. CNB has been looking over the area of interest since 1994, when SWG was drilling for gold in Ontario and Hit Kimberlite instead. They have at least a 4 year head start on anyone in the area, other than Debeers. People probably don't remember this, but before Dan Innis and John Patterson started swg/cnb, Dan headed up the Ontario Geological Society and spearhaded Operation Treasure Hunt. OTH, was basically a province wide comprehensive analysis involving airmags, sampling, some drilling etc to better define exactly what was under their feet throughout Ontario. The program was finished in 1990, at a cost of over 20 million. Dan resigned from the OGS in 1991. One must remember that cnb started staking land in Ontario back in 1994-5, but SWG controlled a very large package in Ontario back in 1992. Thus, all the interest in CNB and ARP. CNB has the diamond properties and ARP has a tons of Platinum/palladium properties they are currently working on. By the way have you seen the results out of ARP so far, very encouraging. CNB, with Rocky Island will do the same. Smart man that Dan Innis. Without Dan Innis and OTH, would Ontario be the hot spot for exploration in canada, as it is at present. No way. Bet your last bottom buck that he picked alot of the best spots and secured them along with John Patterson and his brothers money. Which of course we all know now is exactly what happened. The only people who beat him to the punch on some of these areas where the big companies that have had various mines for decades. |
