Come on,...give a shot at the biggest carat gem found in the current bulk. You didn't give me your pick,...so how can you criticize my comments,...I'm on the record.

As far as how much of the top of the pipes at Jackson Inlet that could be influenced by water action,...who knows,...but it could be a lot more than what's below the frost boil. These pipes have been around for millions of years. Think about it. Concentration of diamonds in the top of pipes is well known, and could be a significant contributor to the high percentage of of macros in these pipes. Especially considering that the people that have taken the samples from these pipes say that the pipe and the surrounding rock are highly fractured. This is an interesting comment.

The key to diamond exploration is logging of the cores drilled through the pipe diatreme (way below the top). De Beers may not be that good at finding pipes,...but they are the best at knowing what's in there after looking at the core. They never give this information away, because it is at the heart of diamond mining, diamond curves, diamond grade, money in the bank (ggggggggggggg).

Kaiser is a complete amateur compared to De Beers,...and you don't want to know my opinion of his analysis of diamond exploration. Have you followed his picks in the last few years. The guy picks 300+ bottom fishers every year,...it is natural that a few will rise, but his big pumps have dived into the red for years. I really don't know why anyone buys his rag.

As far as lots of cash. $10 million is peanuts in developing a diamond mine at this latitude,...and they no longer have 10 million.

I'm hoping you will come to the PDAC in March. I will be at the TWG seminar if they have one,...and I'll bet they have something there,...core shack, investor exchange, seminar like they had last year,...they got a student to do last year's seminar and you could really find out the lay of the land there. We will find some way to meet and exchange notes.

I'm not saying this isn't a good speculation. I'm also not saying to fill your boots and buy on pullbacks like some touts, because that would cause me to have a bad conscience, which is the point I was making in previous posts. This is no where near a sure thing,...but it does look better to me than Otish and Coronation Bay,...for the moment,...all things are subject to change in the next announcement of results.

What I am saying is they seem to be delaying results they should have available to them right now, which is a common practice with mining companies. If they have some chit core,...they wait until they get a good core, or something to tout, then they release all the preceding results with the good results. Stops the stock price from diving precipitously. Of course if they fail to get any good results,....you have the old, "good news travels by jet plane, bad news by mule train,....or snail mail,....and why haven't they release results from the other core?? Simple question Hermann,...answer it??
