Pardon my ignorance but are Eric Friedland and Robert Friedland related?

A number of people mentioned to me that the testing of the TKC was not as good as it could have been. More than one diamond mine was tested twice in different parts to show markedly different grade. Many diamond pipes are very different in different areas. They call it phases of the pipe. They are actually different ages. Some are partly alnoitic, and diamond barren and the other half may be kimberlitic and mineable.

If you have ten million in a private company you can test theories like these.

You can tell a lot about a company by how they name it. For instance Shield Gold went through 40 names before they settled on Shield.

Peregrine was named for the Peregrine Penguin of the Antarctic Islands where Shackelton finally made landfall after his fateful voyage. The company was sympathetically named from the bird's habit of collecting diamonds off the beach. Peregrines swallow the stones for grinding the food in their gullets.
