RE: Shore Gold versus EkatiIt was when George Read compared in-ground value of the Star as being equal to or greater than Diavik's in-ground value that I realized the Star was in the same league as the big two (Ekati/Diavik).
Wasn't Ekati's expenses retrieved in only 1 year of operation, and not 3? Can't remember, but I do remember it was incredible.
"the decline in diamond production in September 2005 is due to the processing of lower grade ore at Ekati Diamond Mine" - I wonder what the lower grades are due to: mining satellite pipes that had lower grades? Or different zones within the original rich pipe.
