RE: MARI was just thinking out loud since MAR hasn't done a deal with BTC then it would be nice to have another option for BTC property. PDL plans to truck material from Shebandowan to the mill north of Tbay so I thought why couldn't they truck from Marathon to Tbay. This way they don't require a mill and they don't require MAR, but I have no idea if it would make financially sense or not.
As far as MAR building a mill, take a look at TAH TAHERA DIAMOND CORPORATION. They built one but since they can't get as many diamonds as they projected, they are have problems making money and IMHO they probably won't survive unless they can discover more diamonds. I don't think MAR has that good of a grade to make any money but that's JMHO and if they can suck in some investors like TAH did then they will build a mill but it probably won't last very long if they can't make any money. If BTC comes up with some good numbers then they definitely need the property and if BTC has another option open then MAR is going to have to pay up to get it.
JMHO
