Chuck buddy - RE: "pay attention to guys like Vaughn, Eric, Rocket, Frank, they absolutely know what they are taking about." Thanks for the credit! I'm going to the AHL Calder Cup in Hamilton tomorrow with the family and friends - Go Bulldogs GO! $15 dollars a seat for a game 7, cup deciding game. Will be a capacity crowd. Can't beat the deal - may be worth the trip from Detroit!

The geological story is indeed even more fascinating. We are not that much similar, frank, eric, rocket, vaughan, frank is a pipefitter, eric is a mining maggot, rocket is a prospector-stockhound, vaughan is a core cruncher somewhere in geological la-la land probably for a big company who he cannot name..) I first became interested in diamonds peripherally in 1963 when a DeBeers geological team came by my front door in Northern Ontario. Around that time but not at that instant I was cataloguing fossils in Georgian Bay and studying mega crystals in basalt rocks. Later in 1976 at Haileybury School of mines I began an investigation into the Russian methods of infrared photographic sensing to pick kimberlites out of the forested taiga. In the 1980's I worked for Selco panning for diamonds in BC near where Fipke was working. Later in the late 1980's I worked for Karl Forbes who was beginning to get interested in diamonds in the Kirkland Lake area. (First pyrope garnet glacial train followed to a kimberlite source in Canada was in Kirkland Lake in 1948) Still later I prospected and sold claims to Bob Middleton who was the first person to drill a kimberlite from aerial mag in Botswana. He did this for Falconbridge in the 1970's! I tried to sell staking in James Bay upon examination of magnetometer data and DeBeers drill results to Ashton in 1993, and got claim jumped by them and some Montreal interests. I have been around the business a bit. I have found that money and connections talk louder than knowledge. EC<:-}
