AK, as usual your comments are stimulating. Why would DeBeers want to increase the price of the project that they might be interested in purchasing ?

It's interesting to note too that some individuals have made the comment that DeBeers has been gathering shares in SNO and that through some scheme have been keeping the price low so that they could gather cheap shares.

Well, I don't really believe that DeBeers wouldn't help out. I think that its in their best interest to get to the bottom of this Mud Lake deposit by assisting SNO anyway they can. They also need to know if it's worth buying and since they aren't doing the development then any information that they can glean is valuable. Sure, they will benefit themselves where they can but that's just business.
