Let me summarize this in a nutshell for you Tom, most people read press releases on Diamond compnanys just as you have interpreted the releases, that is fine, I have made a hell of an income buying what people discard as BS. and recycling the facts of the story. Thus far you have trouble even keeping the name of the individual straight, Ross Orr. Difference points of view are fine, and welcomed but I sense you have taken it upon yourself to twist the events of the company to your liking not what is readily available to view which has been reported. Here are the pertinant facts: 26,000 sq km claim block sampled 5000 til samples. 16macro diamonds found above an emplaced gravel bed full of purple pyropes and diamond indicators. Seeing the company has stated a jig plant is or has arrived to test the gravels., this is an immediate low cost extraction. Secondly a recent press release has stated 70sq. km will undergo close spaced EM work, now does this sound like Rex has abandoned the area for Greener pasturesl? No I interpret that they are refining target areas prior to enlisting the drills. Nothing unusal, I note most diamond companies conduct close spaced geophysics prior to sinking a drill. For the last time, I will explain again as laid out in their website and previous releases geologic teams will advance into new areas of the claims, both of these events are simulataneous as I understand it. Why the Hell do you persist in creating false impressions.? In response to your questioning Dr. Rombouts role, I suspect he has a field office in place, ie. the lab, where the samples are concentrated and shipped to Moscow and S.Africa. Does he sit in the sun winnowing every deflation sample, I doubt it very much, he is probably more concerned with implementing the regional program as well as refining the future program in the 70Km area and the gravel emplacements. As a consultant to Rex, his priorities lie with finding a world class diamond mine, which Rex has hired him to accomplish. He has his own geologic team if you recall the word "associates". Thanks for your perspective, it has been interesting to say the least Sincerely George J. Tromp
