Bottom LineBottom line is they are doing what they said they would do, the reporting of the shaft material was forwarned, and only those that took advantage of this buying opportunity will be the winners. The grades are in line with the previous core's there are no surprises other than the colored fancies. In listening to Read this morning on the conference call, I am surprised there was any selling at all. The vertical shaft material confirmed the core's but also turned up some stones of size and color...."bonus". The game has just begun. In my opinion what was missing was the estimate of probable tonnage, which sets a whole different light on the comparison to Ekati & Diavik. After following many of the diamond folie's and promo's Shore gold is like a breath of fresh air, competant management, qualified people & focused direction. Debeerski's are probably shaking in their boots that the true value of FALC is about to be revealed in the coming results. I don't think there will be any "pie in the sky" results, but what is reported will be solid. In my opinion everyone should be thinking Horizontal instead of vertical.
