Joe -- I finally see your point (its on the top of your head). You're right, there are no diamonds here and 20 million tonnes is not near enough ore to mine profitably.
Here's my idea. We don't "MINE" this baby we just keep on exploring it with exploration permits. It is so very difficult to get a bankable feasibility study so I propose a "strictly bulk sample program" We will need to bulk sample about 100,000 tonnes a month for approximately 20 years in order to really know if this ore body is economical.
Beauty plan Joe. We put a small processing facility in. ( its not a mill Joe. Mills cost at least 500 billion dollars) No need to get an environmental permit or a mining permit because we are not mining, only taking a bulk sample.

You are truly a Genius. You are the man I want to know because you are the man who teaches me things,

P.S. Joe -- What color is the sky in your world?
