Africa?James said that PGD said that Tom was in Africa?
And every single one of you assumed it was a technical visit to sikwane or one of the projects that PGD has.
Correct?
I would hate to have to remind everyone who is on my list of potential partners, but I will -->
Potential partners acquirers The one that I have looked at and I think would be a good fit is Petra Diamonds.
Petra Diamonds has operations in 3 countries.
Jan 2017 fact sheet They have an office in London..but I assume they have offices in Africa as well.
If Petra Diamonds is talking with PGD on JV...maybe they don't want to send people to the Vancouver office and make PGD come to Africa for final negotiations.
PGD may also get a couple of technical field trips to existing operations to see how things are done in Africa.
If you look at Petra Diamonds...they have been aggressive in obtaining some Tier B assets within the industry (De Beers leftovers, etc.) and don't necessarily have the Tier 1 (30 year+) assets....so if they can be convinced to look outside of Africa..Chidliak would probably be a good size fit for them to work with.
This is the power of James.
He says something very, very interesting...yet we all take a pass on it and move on.
Never cry wolf syndrome?
Petra diamonds just got a notch up on the JV ladder.
Don't forget Bruce Cleaver is South African I believe and De Beers has a couple of offices in Africa.
...never cry wolf.
LONG...PGD
