When the plant is up and running it will need a constant supply of material, wether it comes from DM or ABZ or MPV ,,It will have to be constant, I believe the companies will stockpile at the plant sight for use at a given time,,, If some one like WSP transports material on sight of poor quality , they may just use it to build the roads,,,, these are just my thoughts,,, It will be very interesting to know how it will work If you ship in material with poor quality diamonds ,then you get back nothing

Hi Sam: I think it more a mimimum tonnage situation than the amount of pipes., Aber has proved up 37Mil with drilling on A-11., the 37mil tons would be sufficient for mine construction. Probably realistically 20Mil ton resource to justify a 600mil expenditure is minimum. However any source if small such as the dykes., 2-5mil tons would be a valuable asset if the diamond counts and dollars per carat justify mining. If MPV should turn 50mil tons proven it will be mined even at 1.5carats/ton. The numbers will crunch. However gem quality has to gel as well. In answer to your last question., both properties are contiguous with each other. Winspear has found two pipes a few kilometers from MPV border. The Haywood project is located further east. Maybe Walt has the total distance from Snap Lake area to the Diavik mine. Is is 50 or 60 miles., or 80. I dont know without scaling a map. Sam., I see youre GM man., being from Michigan I have 2 in my garage., an ol Caddy and a vintage 57Chev Belair 2dr hdtp., manufactured in Ontario., according to VIN number. You didnt happen to supervise the welding on that did you. (Grin) Sincerely George J. Tromp
