Wow, lotta posts. I don't know much about this Bishop character, beyond his Corriente fame ('corriente' means 'current' or 'creek' in Spanish, I wonder what the Bishop faithful name that creek -g-), or Carter, really, though I've been meaning to get around to subscribing to his stuff. But Kaiser I know and respect, within limits, for the way he explains things and organizes data. His December Bottom-Fisher is a reference work I use all year, and his essay on the use of the internet by investors last spring or early summer was extremely well-thought and well-expressed, imho. He tells you why , and is a big enough man to give out a mea culpa where appropriate, sometimes. I'd like to believe that he's above this sleazy, "give me a dollar and I'll be your friend" sort of routine with the companies, and I don't begrudge him the subscription fees, much.$720 US per tonne ). They are x/y graphs, giving US$/ct and ct/t, showing "NWT Pipes Versus The World", and the NWT comes out looking good. Other graphs - Surficial Size of Pipe in Hectares (smaller than average in the NWT), Diamond Grade in Carats per Tonne (better than world average in the NWT), Diamond Valuation in US$ per carat (lower than world average in the NWT), and In Situ Value of Ore (NWT a little better than average at $116/t, but nowhere near 23rd Congress, Mir, or Kimberley).
