RE:RE:RE:Pinch and swellcudjo, cudjo, cudjo . . . . . . . . . . . Dr. Grtter (Ph.D., P. Geo.) has 25 years of experience in the diamond industry and is a recognized expert in assessing the economic and development potential of kimberlite provinces. After 12 early-career years with De Beers in South Africa and Canada, he spent 4 years with Mineral Services Canada as Principal Consultant and worked on diamond projects from around the globe. From 2005 to 2012 he was Commodity Specialist (Diamonds) and assessed opportunities to grow BHP Billiton's diamond business by exploration or acquisition. In his role with BHP Billiton, Dr. Grtter was the technical representative on the Chidliak Joint Venture Management Committee from 2007 to 2012. He received a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Geology from the University of Cape Town in 1986 and a Ph. D. in Geology from the University of Cambridge in 1993. Dr. Grtter is the first author of several industry-leading publications that relate kimberlitic indicator minerals to diamonds . . . . . . . . So cudjo - are you a geologist with these types of credentials? ANSWER = NO, right there cudjo? That is one big manure pile you are picking from there crud. It seems the cudjo BS flows endlessly. What makes you an expert in diamond exploration? For you to state that the Botswana ground was covered and explored in depth by De Beers, then stating this Botswana ground is old and tired, and researched to death by DeBeers, odds of finding anything valuable is next to zero . . . man what a crock of El Toro . . . . . PGD has their reasons for being in Africa. Just because you do not know their reasons, just because you do not understand their thought process, their exploration methodology, and/or the words in their Aug 4, 2016 News Release . . . that does not make you an expert in anything other than company bashing & fear mongering on this bullboard. Maybe you are the person who is clued out here and NOT PGD management. Ever consider that? Read the news release a few more times. Find a PhD geologist who can explain this to you. Quit badmouthing the company and its Qualified employees unless you REALLY KNOW what you are talking about. Speaking of pinch and swell . . . pretty obvious cudjo is suffering from a swelled blockhead & tiny pinched parts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This had zero to do with an exploration compnay going over new ground with some interesting finding, old and tired, and researched to death by DeBeers, odds of finding anything valuable is next to zero, odds of finding something on new ground with anomolies is money worth spending. Suggest everyone go do some dd on kimberlites, and the odds of finding any diamonds in them, extremely low, Botswana was an extremely poor decision, with horrible timeing and managment should be called out for it. A million bucks spent on the other value other than diamonds on Baffin would have been money better spent. Bad call through and through.
