Those photos from David Kaiser where taken mid July. Shore has advanced with Headframe and permanent digging continuing on a 24-hour schedule. It seems we have almost two weeks of permanent digging behind our belts, which should bring us close or over the 150-foot mark. Shore should be half way to the kimberlite and we should hear news of reaching the kimberlite depth by the end of Aug. As for the plant, we should see arrival to the site at about the same time.
My guess would be that this is when things will get exciting. 3000 plus carats here we come with valuations by early 2004.
Will the Star diamonds be cut and polished in Canada? Or will they be cut and polished at the Steinmetz Group plant in South Africa?
I say Benny builds a new plant in Saskatchewan. He does cut and polish 30% of De beers rough and maybe just maybe De beers will finally mine their own diamonds in Canada someday. Canadian made, Canadian cut and Canadian branded.
