Hi Lilian,...big hype machine for Kensington. On a body of 213,460,000 tonnes such as kimberlite 145 a FALC, with stone values of up to US $184/carat, the initial capital outlay would represent a maximum of $2.81/t. For approximately $15/t, it could be mined at a rate of 40,000 t/day and processed. If these figures were true, the mine would be there already. Why isn't it? These figures blow most, if not all of the worlds diamond mines away. I suggest the truth is being stretched. I give the "big hype machine crown" back to you. russett

RE:FALC'S POTENTIAL. IF THERE'S ANY DOUBT IN YOUR MIND CONCERNING THE FALC'S MIND-NUMBING WORLD-CLASS POTENTIAL (AFTER SOME OF THE NEGATIVE DRIBBLE OVER THE LAST FEW WEEKS), PLEASE READ KEVIN LEAHY'S 450 PAGE DOCTORAL THESIS (JUNE 1996) TITLED THE GEOLOGY OF KIMBERLITES FROM THE FORT A LA CORNE AREA, SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA. PROFESSOR PETER NIXON AND DR. MARGE WILSON WERE HIS SUPERVISORS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCES. NOTE:THE THESIS IS AVAILABLE THROUGH NATURAL RESOURCES CANADA (OTTAWA) A FEW HIGHLIGHTS - TO WHET YOUR APPETITE: * DR. W.L. GRIFFIN (CSIRO, AUSTRALIA) ATTRIBUTES MAXIMUM GRADES OF 30 TO 100 C/HT TO THE FALC KIMBERLITES (SUPPORTS DR. ROMBOUTS GRADE PREDICTIONS) * A FRAGMENTED DIAMOND ESTIMATED TO HAVE BEEN 1 CARAT IN SIZE WAS RECOVERED DURING OPERATION FISH SCALE PROJECT (THAT MAKES TWO 1 CARAT SIZED STONES FOR THE FALC) * THE FALC IS WITHIN AN ARCHEAN MICROCONTINENT (ALL CLIFFORD'S RULE DEVOTEES WILL BE THRILLED!) MORE TO COME - STAY TUNED!
