Well we all package in our own way. I was thinking of putting a glossy cover on it and stamping it "PhD, University of Hardway" but I realized that in most of those austere and forbidding containers is the same reprocessed material. I give it raw. Saves costs. In the mountains and valleys of prejudice that are formed in the land of wishful thinking there is precious little communication from valley to valley. Mostly you chant with the congregation or they banish you to the next valley.

Know anybody who will give you odds on the Yellowknife processing facility being straight and secure? It is brand new. Why no news on the samples sent to Falconbridge? Do you think the caustic fusion from all 71 holes is good? I will bet they don't want to go hole by hole in releasing. Some of the kimberlite is diatreme and some is hypabyssal. Do you know what that implies as to variance in grade?

If the sample was good and it has integrity it is interesting. IF. But they mishandled the info in it didn't they? They should have processed it in batches. And they should have sent some of it out. And they should have demonstrated how they locked it down.. security etc.. but that part is missing. You know Yamba Lake and Ranch Lake were salted...this is established fact..

No diamond mining enterprise in Canada yet has published definitive information about their pyrope Ca-Cr chemistry or nickel thermometry that would allow another scientist to judge their chances. This is astonishing. IT is an accepted science. IT is not proprietary. In fact I know some of the people involved with the diamet discovery. It was for all the train following just dumb luck. They don't know. Believe me they cannot even spell nickel thermometry let alone understand the mathematics. The GSC was up there and sampled Lac De Gras in 1950. The kimberlites come to the surface.. They identified every mineral in the rocks and the whole rock analysis said it was a kimberlite. They called it something else and did not test it for diamond. So much for the GSC. Like every other branch of the government, massively incompetent in triplicate.
