Dr. Charles Fipke....
Okay first off disclosure; I own zero shares of this company, and have done almost no dd on this stock, however as a result of today's press release I will try to free up some $$$ to get in. I just want to make 2 quick points about Chuck.
1)Charles Fipke is EXTREMELY secretive about his work. Other than what he has to file as per regulatory rules, he will never tip his hand to anyone. The fact that he has bought in,through his Kel-X work, to me is a sign that at a minimum, indicator minerals such as g-10's and chrome diopsides must lead directly to, and on Iciena's properties.
2)Charles Fipke is friggen brilliant. He's the Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods of geologists. If any of you enjoy reading, or as part of your due diligence on the diamond industry and the hunt for shiny rocks, I'd highly recommend reading the books "Fire into Ice" and/or "Barren Lands". They are both about Chuck's discovery of the Ekati Diamond Mine. "Fire into Ice" has some interesting parts about Chuck's earlier prospecting days in Brazil for companies like Cominco, Rio Tinto, and Kennecott.
I have a feeling that there is alot of info about this story that we are only beginning to learn. We KNOW that Brazil has alluvial diamonds, and who better than Chuck Fipke to help find the pipes from which they came? good luck to you all.

You gave this board some great insight about Chuck, that a lot didnt know. We are both followers of Chuck for a long time through CD and he has had the Brazil claims since 2002. Finally its coming to fruition. Next comes the CD JV. I was surprised that you dont own any IIE but there is still time.
Cheers Wilf
