Trev and remaining cultists: I pulled this interesting analysis off of stockwatch. stockwatch.com Thought we could use something to spur some discussion on SI. (Thanks for this WillP) Also, I wonder how may Resource Indicator followers sold at the stop loss? Could turn out to be an astute move... time will tell. Well 1 post this week for me... off to Lake Huron this time! Hope to see the "shakedown" over and WSP at 4+ buckaroos when I get back!

WillP answers: Why would a self respecing
multinational "diamond" company
want to take over Winspear. What
does Winspear have, that other,
cheaper, outfits do not?

WINSPEAR RESOURCES
In ground resource: 20 million tonnes
x 200$ US per tonne x 0.7 =
$2.8-billion US / 50-million shares =
$56 US per share.

Excess over share price: 24x.

Any with more?

MOUNTAIN PROVINCE
MINING
In ground resource: 35 million tonnes
x $115 US per tonne x 0.36 =
$1.4-billion / 45-million shares = $32
US per share.

Excess over share price: 12x.

ABER RESOURCES LTD.
In ground resource 37 million tonnes
x $200 US per tonne x 0.4 =
$3.0-billion

Add approximate share of Snap
Lake, of $1-billion = $4.0 billion /
56-million shares = $71 US per
share.

Excess over share price: 8x.

DIAMET MINERALS LTD.
In ground resource 70 million tonnes
x $110 US per tonne x 0.29 =
$2.2-billion / 33-million shares = $66
US per share.

Excess over share price: 4x.

It's a crude way of looking at things,
but then it's a "rough" business. If
someone wants diamonds...the
higher the excess multiple, the better
deal for your money, no?

TAHERA CORP.
In ground resource: 5-million
tonnes (est hi grade) x $80 US
(est. hi grade) x 1.00 =
$400-million US / 200-million
shares = $2.00 US per share.

Excess over share price: 13x.

It's a decent value, but few
diamonds. Also depends on
my estimates of high grade
zones, which are possibly
optimistic.

SOUTHERNERA
RESOURCES LTD
Estimated resources: 8 million
tonnes x $100 US per tonne x
0.9 = $720-million US /
30-million shares = $24 US
per share.

Excess over share price: 9x.

That one includes Leopard,
M1, and the other, less
explored Klipspringer bodies.
Nothing else, as there are no
indications of potential.

Subject: Stop Losses

" Anyone following his Sudhirness will now be
stopped out of WSP. "

Always a risky move...putting stop losses on
something that isn't a "speculative" stock. I think it
will take some time to have that realization sink in.

...or is there a second opinion that's more
persuasive?

Not from me. I'm not a big fan of the "DeBeers is
going to buy", scenario.

The Argyle stones are part of a massive world wide hype by
the proprietor to market their poor quality hard to cut stones.

There is no "most valuable" diamond but the best colored
stones are alluvials out of Angola.

.Trev - Thanks, I think my biggest problem was that I thought that "pinks" and champagnes were the same thing.
