Sudhir, I'm a bit underinformed by WSP, since they don't seem willing or able to put a schematic drawing on their website to show what the dyke looks like in relation to the lake and peninsula. Sure would be nice to see something like that on their website (hint, hint, WSP!!). From what is public, do you you know how many meters of the dyke are on land and how many are under the lake at this point? And is there some geometric formula to determine the depth of the dyke at a given distance assuming a 15 degree down dip? I understand that Kaiser is saying that larger bulk samples are likely to push the value per tonne upward due to the likelihood of getting more large stones per tonne. I'm not sure if this reasoning makes sense to me (if I understand him correctly that is - his single space voluminous look and writing style give me reading comprehension problems). Does that logic make sense to you? Thanks.

Thanks for the imput Sudhir., what do you feel to be the minimum threashold of tonnage for a viable project that is both open pittable and underground. 3Mil tons., 5mil tons., 10mil tons.,? If it were front loaded open pitted., I would think with these valuation numbers it would be cash rich early on.? Even at 100US operating costs the margins would be in the 200 US range., good by any standard. James uses the figures of 100.00C or 70US as his basis for a 1000 ton per day operation., producing 365000 carats . With those numbers I can see some large cash flows. Sincerely George J. Tromp
