I've been saying this since 2004 myself... Our kimberlite is on the surface. It would take a backhoe at this point. It's crude but you could hand pick through it, like they do in every artisinal mine in the world. I'm guessing if you came up with a couple of macros, or at least a bunch of G10 garnets, the JV partners would start lining up at the door.
That being said, this company's movement has always been glacial, so I wasn't expecting this next phase to move any faster. Nice to dream though.
