Mineman, Is there an echo in here?....you are starting to sound and write an awful lot like you pal average joe.

Mineman, Go and read Kaisers report again. Kaiser did not reveal any salting attempt, as a matter of record, he dismissed the theory entirely. You may wish to ask Eric Charters about the origin of the salting theory. I think that you will find that Eric had no basis what so ever for his off the cuff remarks. He does not always wish to be taken seriously. Here is another example of an uncalled for and unsolicited Eric Charter(ism); www3.techstocks.com One always has to be careful of the source of your information. I believe that there are further comments by the very qualified and credentialed McCallum to the effect that the Winspear diamonds all share a unique signature. They are similiar to the Mir (Russian) diamonds in their clarity and absence of inclusions (imperfections) hence their high value. " The various physical characteristics exhibited by the three large gem diamonds (10.82, 8.42, and 6.04 carats) recovered from the kimberlite are completely consistent with those observed in smaller stones from all size fractions. There is a strong correlation of morphological characteristics between diamonds recovered from each of the two sample sites. The number of large stones recovered from this sample is unusual but not unprecedented. Based on the high concentration of large diamond fragments in the +9 and +11 size fractions, as well as evaluation of size-frequency distribution curves, preferential breakage of larger, poorer quality stones appears likely to have occurred either by late magmatic or induced processes. Dr. McCallum subsequently has commented that some of the overgrowth features present on many diamonds in this population have not been reported from other localities in NWT and may provide a unique signature for diamond parcels from the NW dyke at Snap Lake. Winspear notes that kimberlite of the NW dyke is also unusual in its intrusive form and compositional characteristics of its indicator minerals." What is your sudden interest in WSP anyway? Did you also get caught shorting it at close on a Friday afternoon?
