What you say is true, the only caveat I would put on it is the area factor. If it is the NWT people expect alot, a new play such as Alberta people get more excited with less, a kimberlite discovery in greenland would probably be more so. So there is a bit of an area factor to things plus it brings in alot of novice investors new companies etc. Imagine the excitement that would be generated if someone digging a basement in Toronto or Vancouver hit a diamondiferous kimberlite. Imagine if it was LA or New York.
Somewhere, and for the life of me I cannt remember where, a few years ago I saw a map which showed where all the diamonds had been found in north america. The finds go back to the early settlers and explorers.
It was quite fascinating because some pretty good stones had turned up in the most unlikely places.
So next time anyone digs a ditch or basement keep your eyes open you just never know what you may turn up:)
