Sudhir - thxs for the update, with you and Jesse we get a pretty good picture of the situation with Marum. Also the Marum website with its tour of photos is one of the best I've seen, kudos to whoever put that together. Also, kudos to the Apex Geoscience for the insights into the spectacular geophysics stuff, tis quite amazing what the computer can do with the flight aeromagnetic data. I quite appreciate all that stuff since I was a team leader to develop eddycurrent and ultrasonic inspection systems for the CANDU nuclear reactor pressure tubes, and we eventually figured out how to do that and map the 3-dimensional displays in realtime with bunches of computers talking to each other. Just imagine if we further develop the kimberlite pipe location technology, pipes could be mapped in realtime, so you know before you get out of the plane that you might have something down below. THe 3-D seismic for oil and gas fields has made pretty good progress, and likely the enhancements as can be applied to kimberlite pipes is just a few mouse clicks away. I've put my 2 computers to work trying to figure out when and how to trade the E-mini S&P futures, together with online trading, in and out of the market in less than 20 secs sometimes, now hows that for technology. its quite a system I've developed. tracking all the relevant indices, to predict which way the future is likely to go so you either go long or short it, and get out when you make a few bucks and try again. On any given day there are between 50 and 150 tradable points each point worth $50, so the challenge is on and lasts from opening bell at 9:30 to close at 4pm. You can even trade the night session from 4:45pm to 9:15am. Anyway lots of fun, and just like with stocks frustration at times.
