Red, If Winspear's early work was not proving out to be positive, I wonder how hard Aber would be pushing to keep its percentage. Looks to me that they were waiting for some sign of success before putting up their money. Kind of like putting your money on the poker table after you look at your cards. In Vegas, you get kicked out of the casino for trying that, and that is what should happen to Aber. Bet they never thought Winspear management would call their hand on it.

Red, can you give me your opinion on this possible outcome regarding ABZ.I have put all information together and have reached this conclusion, ABZ will be bought out in less than 6 months,why? 1) franco nev bought 9.9% of abz stock, they are well known for buying just before a take over. 2) DeBeers was the last one to arrive on the CN diamond scene and in a short time aquired 35% of rights to sell production of the first producing mine in Canada. 3) BHP has stated publicly its intention to focus on its core mining operations,wich does not include diamonds. 4) It makes no sence to build another billion dollar mine 300m across from DMMs mine, aswould be the case if ABZ BHP decided to go into production.5) now that Debeers has its foot in the DMM mine buying ABZs deposit would lower the cost on both deposits,thereby spinning off more cash for all parties.This is what Franco Nev sees happening I think, what do you think?
