Lorne, Evidently you haven't followed the Winspear thread for long.....I have answered that question many, many times because of Shaun Spelliscy's abusive antics.....basically, it is because I recognised that the Kimberlite at Snap Lake was not a typical "pinch and swell", narrow, dyke similar to the ones in South Africa....but rather a large cone shaped sheeted structure with huge tonnage potential, and given the hypabyssal nature, uniform grade and diamond content.....furthermore, the chemistry attests to the depths of origin being much deeper than the Lac de Gras area which infers much higher quality and hence much higher valuations....even diamontaires in Antwerp considered the quality equal to "Russian White" from the now closed Mir pipe....nothing wrong with changing one's mind when presented with irrefutable empirical data which points to Snap Lake being the diamond discovery of the century.....knowing that DeBeers cannot match that kind of quality, tells me that there should be an attempt by a number of large companies to get control of Snap Lake......could DeBeers risk having another large company such as RTP or BHP, vying to enter the diamond market, control production of large gem diamond of such fine color and quality that DeBeers sites could get a reputation for second class goods? I think not..... regards, teevee
