Just saw some footage of the TWG.t gems on ROBtv,...they are getting some promotion,...good pictures of the colored ones too.

The tardiness of Hermann to get comparative valuations of the package is puzzling. A diamondaire would take a few minutes to evaluate the clear ones because there are no big ones to slow the examination down. The colored ones might take a little longer to evaluate. One is left thinking Hermann's buddy diamondaire and partner, has told him they can't promote the valuation so they should hope the market doesn't notice its absence.

Something to consider when thinking about grade,...

Most DMS plants are set up with a 0.5 to 2.0 mm cutoff. Problem is that diamonds less than 3.0 mm in the average plant are not recovered efficiently. Most plants will get everything over 3.0 mm very efficiently (near 100%), but recoveries of diamonds at 2.0 mm for instance usually are less than 50%.

So when your determining grade, investors would be wise to ignore anything less than 2.0 mm mesh size, because such diamonds are not worth much in the first place, and they most likely end up in the tailings pile.
