Okay, let's have the answer to yesterday's posed question, shall we?

Message 6438927
"What world scale and world class mining company, one whose name would be readily recognizable to most diamond stock investors and who, in the not too distant past commissioned an important diamond mine, is currently busy calculating pre-stripping and waste to ore ratios on a large Alberta open pit mine which might reach the final production go/no go decision stage in 1999? This company is consequently well positioned to assess stripping and mining costs for any Alberta diamond miner. (As is Marum, of course!)"

I'm told, ... the answer is, ... "BHP" (anybody guess that?).

BHP recently opened the "Diamet" Ekati mine as described here:

BHP is also a 25% participant in Alberta's proposed $1.2 billion Muskeg River Mine as described here:
