Bill,
I sincerely apologize. I had a family emergency. My cousin who lives in LA was in a car accident and she is fine but badly bruised and shaken up- her car was totaled and I’m the only family out here at the moment. 
Still no excuse for not giving you heads up. I totally forgot to call back in all the drama. I’m up and available whenever you can call. Again I apologize.

The long and short of it is a long time friend’s uncle has been mining for gold in Zimbabwe for 15 plus years. As you might expect, access to capital was limited with the previous government and it was very difficult to expand. He believes that based on his knowledge of the region and his relationships he could assemble claims (including his) that could yield up to 2 million ounces of gold (of course there will be other minerals in the ore).

This is interesting because the primary purpose is to desilt the river. Thus, apparently this is not technically a diamond mine that requires any type of government ownership. The gentleman has indicated he would like to sell or create a jv as he is struggling with access to capital. He has told me that they recover 100,000 carats a month with roughly 20 percent being gem quality. I have not verified this but because of the location it seemed plausible.
