Yes, I agree. It may be that the mining companies, like De Beers and Teck are the mainly interested parties at this time. Without more general public interest, the market for diamond stocks will not be keen even though we read that there is a real growing demand for diamonds.

One can only hope that SNO hits more kim and gets a better than anticipated assay result on the bulk sample otherwise we may be sitting at these low prices for some time.

Do you feel even then, if the results come back looking very rosy, that without market interest, any buyout offer may be a bargain for the purchaser?
