1.)Ashton has no problem selling their "Indian goods" as there always remains a market for lower quality diamonds (some people buy their wives diamonds from Walmart because they can't afford Tiffany's) The larger gem quality diamonds are in minority compared to these Indian goods but form the major part of $/ton. The fact is Aber will be able to market the good the bad and the ugly ! 2.)I don't believe the turbidity problem was really that much of a problem to some community 400 km away that was used to drinking silt and sea salt with their drinking water. The use of crushed rock would appear to be politically motivated to keep everyone happy. 3.)If the supply of fuel is a logistical problem for Aber, what makes you think it won't be for Winspear ? If they can send a man to the moon or build a road into Jean Chretien's cottage they can get the infrastructure in place for a multi billion dollar project of this scale. The Northwest Territories have room for the economic spinoffs from more than one mine and this will not stop develop but encourage it. 4.)I bought my Aber at $7.00 and $7.05 so I guess I made less of a mistake than Franco Nevada. I guess we will see heads roll there too ! 5.)Last I checked, they had 32% or is DeBeers buying the 16% Winspear thinks is their winfall ? Even at 16% if you truley believe what will transpire with Winspear's share price, Aber is still a bargoon at $10.00 per share. regards, Bob
