Stew...

"And no Brian Tobin!"

Can you say Diamond Field Resources?? Sure you can....

... Starting to think about what "challenges" a massive tonnage deposit would face in this neck of the woods (I know, it's WAY to early...)

1/ Where would you put the refinery? Fort McMurray?

2/ How would you haul the ore? Truck? Rail? I don't think there's any /much rail infrastructure north of Edmonton... is there a line to McMurray?

3/ Environmental concerns ("oooooh, where's all this yucky stuff coming from") Tailings from sulphide ore are a HUGE headache...

4/ Native rights/concerns: Big problem with Voisey's Bay, other than Mr. Tobin, are the local native groups trying to dictate mine life, and so on, which impacts economics tremendously... there's actually a piece in the Globe and Mail ROB today about it...

All in all, I'm still rootin' for them diamonds, much cleaner and profitable :)))

Just trying to kill some time here before the next news release,
Paul
