North American Diamonds, Exploration of US Options

[Bennie]

In 1975 diamonds were accidentally discovered in wyoming, to date there has been over 300 kimberlites discovered between colorado and wyoming. Atleast 200 discovered by Dan Hausel while he was chief of exploration.
since 1980 many properties have seen or visited by companies , most if not all have yielded diamond. In the begining cominco desighned a terrible mill and as a result many Diamonds were lost. last year one ton of tailings were re processed for diamond content and no suprise to dan hausel a 4 carat diamond was recovered.
These diamond bearing rocks called kimberlites can be located through many exploration techniques. one of the most popular is looking for indicator minerals ans these tell a pro theres a kimberlite nearby.
another popular technique is a fly over with special mounted equipment made especially for locating these anomolys. Myself I use one of the best techniques "keeping my eyes peeled to the ground" one would want to see blueground; eroded kimberlites and source of indicator minerals.
once a site is located , sampling is generally the first thing. Mining companies sample anywhere from .5 of a ton to 300 tons . ore grades in the state- line district varied from .1CPHT to 135.cpht (carats per hundred tonnes, tonne=200lbs more}
but again cominco lost diamonds they desighned 3 mills each more worse than the previous . Numerous indicator mineral anomols exist in colorado and wyoming > after Dan discovered 200 kimberlites for Diamonex, he told me theres still many discoveries to be made on both sides of the border.
most if not all kimberlites in the stateline district are infact owned thus off limits.
Canada started mining a few short years ago and are now number3 in the world. Canada even produced more than Africa last year. Fact DeBeers sold all properties in Africa and are exploring thier new sites in Canada which are considered "WorldClass". Myself I have 20+ excellent targets to follow up on and will keep the CP's site fresh and keep you guys updated

I'd like to thank Johnny for explaining a little bit more about this situation.
I'm sure it's quite frustrating to have found out about claim jumping on your claim via the internet.........big time GRRRRR!
TSK, TSK, to the mineral tresspasser(s)!

Whether someone is following trends or not in hopes of a new discovery, this does not justify claim jumping and I agree with Johnny......claim jumpers are not prospectors. Prospectors have respect for exsisting claim owners and are normally very careful not to tresspass claims.
That specific knowledge and how to obtain it is part of the ColoradoProspector club and websites main goals. This is also the reason I am posting in this thread as the site owner.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FIELD INFO!! KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND ESPECIALLY WHERE YOU SHOULDN'T BE WHEN PROSPECTING.
Unfortunately, as it seems in this situation, the field sampling was done on someones exsisting claims even though I would suspect those claims are well marked and recorded as federal requirements indicate.
Do not find yourself in this situation. Find out for sure prior to your sampling that it is in fact open to prospect there.

Again thank you Johnny for a bit more explination here and we are VERY PROUD to have your participation within the ColoradoProspector club and website.
