joe6103-Thanks! The way I look at it this is more than a CMK(X?) diamond lottery play.
I do own positions in both of the stocks I have mentioned.
Right now DMXP is the only public diamond exploration company in Montana U.S.A. south of the Canadian North American Precambrian Volcanic Craton belt which if you have done your D.D. you will find that Peter Ellsworth who is a geologist/consultant for many companies has found 1 microdiamond in the following (copy and paste) link mentioned in the last sentence below...

6.P11 UPPER-MANTLE XENOLITHS IN THE HOMESTEAD KIMBERLITE, CENTRAL MONTANA, USA: DEPLETED AND RE-ENRICHED WYOMING CRATON SAMPLES

Hearn Jr BC

The Homestead kimberlite, discovered by consulting geologist Peter Ellsworth in 1999, occurs in lower Cretaceous Colorado Group beds in the Grassrange area of aillikite, alnoite, monchiquite and carbonatite dikes, diatremes, and a few sills in central Montana. Basement is part of the Archean Wyoming craton. The kimberlite contains 25-30 modal% olivine xenocrysts and phenocrysts in a matrix of phlogopite (kimberlitic trend of limited decrease in Ti with increasing Al, BaO to 1.1 wt% in rims), monticellite, clinopyroxene (cpx), serpentine, chlorite, hydrous Ca and Ca-Al silicates with Na, perovskite, and spinels (zoned from Cr-Mg-rich cores to Fe-Ti-rich rims, kimberlite Trend 2). Age is probably middle Eocene. Locally abundant upper-mantle xenoliths, as much as 0.7 m size, are the largest known garnet peridotite xenoliths in the US, and perhaps in North America. Granulites are rare; eclogites are absent. The suite is dominated by dunites and harzburgites, containing garnet (gar), gar - spinel (sp), or sp only. Of the collected xenoliths, 8% are lherzolites (3% gar, 3% gar - sp, 2% sp), 61% are harzburgites (22% gar, 25% gar - sp, 14% sp), and 31% are dunites (2% gar, 5% gar - sp, 24% sp). Three of 26 studied xenoliths are low-Ca gar -sp harzburgites containing G-10 garnets (CaO 1.97, 3.92, 3.47, and Cr2O3 3.87, 5.05, 4.75 wt% respectively). Textures are mainly coarse granular; only 5% are porphyroclastic, in contrast to 50% porphyroclastic in Williams kimberlites, Montana. The xenolith suite indicates ancient major-element depletion as in other Wyoming craton assemblages. Younger enrichment events are shown by tectonized or undeformed veins of orthopyroxenite, clinopyroxenite, and websterite with gar and/or sp. Cpx-rich bands represent tectonized earlier clinopyroxenite veins. Phlogopite-bearing veins may represent ancient K-metasomatism and/or kimberliterelated addition. Garnet-bearing peridotites have a range of 1180 to 1390 C and 36 to 47 kb (Brey-Kohler methods), in the graphite stability field close to the diamond boundary. Low-Ca harzburgites fall in about the same T range, using Ca in sparse cpx or olivine-garnet Fe/Mg. For most spinel peridotites, pyroxene T's for assumed 20kb are in the same range, possibly indicating heating of the shallow mantle. Olivine-spinel temperatures are consistently much lower, indicative of re-equilibration. Garnet xenocrysts are mainly Cr-pyropes, 2 to 15% are G-10's, a few almandines are present, and eclogitic garnets are absent. Cr-spinel xenocrysts have MgO and Cr2O3 contents ranging into the diamond inclusion field. Uncommon Mg-ilmenite xenocrysts contain 7-11 wt% MgO and 0.8-1.9 wt% Cr2O3, with Fe3/(Fe total) 0.17-0.31. Cr-diopside xenocrysts contain as much as 4.2 wt% Cr2O3; their T and P ranges (Nimis-Taylor method) are 1000 to 1220 C, 23 to 71 kb, in part within the diamond field. Peter Ellsworth reported the recovery of one microdiamond from a 45 kg sample.

Sounds good
Listened to the interview'sounds good to me. Will have to admit that I don't understand the trading on the pinks.
What is the guess on the price of this stock come Monday morning.
With all the good things that are falling into place one would think that there is only one direction that Delta could go and that is up.
