Subject: share valuation for
Winspear?

Gareth, I am comfortable with the
notion that there is a tonne of
kimberlite backing every share of
Winspear.....assuming valuations
stand up and they are discounted
20% for mining dilution, there
could be an implied value of
$400.00 worth of ore in the
ground for every share of
Winspear. the last time i bought a
stock with a tonne of ore behind
every share, with an implied value
of $400.00 per tonne, was
Diamond Fields Resources and I
had to pay $12.00 per share for
it.....another way to look at where
the share price might go is a look
at gold companies...Majors have
often paid the equivalent of
$100.00 per ounce of gold
equivalent in ground resource, in
terms of share price capitalization
of the junior resource company
that was acquired.....hmmmmm I
better not go there........anyone
else have any thoughts on this?
regards, teevee
PS: now about that bottle of scotch, Sam.....are you pourin? I'll have mine straight over some ice please.....

Hi Andy,

RT tells me that diamonds under 4 carats (I think that's the cutoff) get valued in seconds based on tables the diamantaires keep on a shelf beneath their diamond inspection table. The ones over 4 carats take anywhere from 15 minutes to 4 hours each for a rough estimate.

Therefore the longer the valuation takes, the more money it's worth!!!!
