Hello Paul. If I didnt know better., I think you just called me a liar. Well., I have the drill holes., but unfortunately you will have to do your own digging for comparisions just the way I have for the last 5 yrs. you can start going through Winspears post., theyre are several there. It really would be nice to start comparing MPV with ABER but unfortunately that cant happen til MPV release an indication of gem quality., early on Aber used to reference stones as clear and colorless., transparents to give the investor a hint. Secondly If one wants to bite the 50mil ton resource Vandersande is putting out to shareholders., then he should be able to produce some full drill holes., in all the drilling to date. How do you know., that the 50mil ton resource isnt filled half way with country rock., wall rock. or other undesirables., that can dilute the core., without seeing total drill intercepts as well., continutity of kimberlite.,. Just take his word huh. Well., look I really dont care if MPV pipes are half filled with buffalo turds {grin}. I own the stock in the .80C range., so I have nothing to prove. I just have my suspicions engendered over the last 4 yrs., that these boys., dont always tell it like it is. As far as the stone reporting pardon the pun., but it looks like theyre trying to "trump" Winspear reporting style. Well., I have seen thru the tactics., I am not amused. but I will let them play the little games., who cares.!!!!!!! . As far as a 5 mil ton resource., I believe Kaiser the almighty thinks otherwise., based on 100,OO carat. Well tell me someone., how many pink diamonds., or green diamonds would it take to skewer those numbers., please dont get me started here., I just changed my sweatshirt from drooling. I am not going to sit here and speculate., you paid the dollar., so you do the time.., Well, maybe you would rather believe Kaiser when he says MPV will have pipes better than Aber. Well, quite frankly I am a little suspicious., Paul.,, and I will tell you why., those boys at MPV never hesitated to let investors think those stones were worth 35.00 carat for a good couple of years. Bingo DeBeers pops in and they test another???? part of the pipe on 5034 and numbers increase.? especially in a declining raw diamond market.????? Hell even Aber discounted their stones during Bulk sampling to reflect the trend. So just dont ask any questions Paul, and dont question management., just accept everything thats said., you will do just fine. I think it goes without saying Winspear must come up with some tonnage., no one has implied otherwise. But I will let you in on a little clue., Winspear is closer at this point in describing the Dyke stones as FANCIES than any company in North America. Why because they have done the PREP work. Whether it is economic remains to be seen., but I can tell you once again., IMHO when a source is found coupled with the dykes., it will make economic sense. Especially seeing Aber will be in production by late 2001 or do you see it as an impossibility that ore from Winspears property could not be shipped to Diavik to be processed.? How about it Walt., is this not a possibility.??????? Well I think anything is possible., if the deposit should come in with marginal tonnage., Aber would probably be most willing to add additonal assetts to diavik. But hey lets not think too far ahead here. George J. Tromp |
