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

Mr Tonko I Do Apoligize For the Picture Incident with one of my specimens and a Document that was an accident for the rest of this i have nothing to apologize for

That Wasnt one of Your Claims , Dont Act Like It Was . Thats Simply Despicable To Say.

. I Have No Further Interest In Any Of Those Lakes as Im Telling You Ritenow Thats Not a Diamondifferious Occurance , Havent Been Back Since I Found That Out , Im Not even Interested In Finding a new one in that area or nearby trend

I Told You On The Phone Them pictures Were Shot At The Unclaimable Campside lakes .

Also Notice the Trail Next To This Public Lake , This Is "Lost Lake" and I shot a number of pictures at this Lake and , We Even Dug a lil bit , this Lake Is 15 Feet From A Campsite and this half of the section is withdrawln from mining , LOOK CLOSLEY AT PICTURES Jeez It Should Look Familliar Its The Only One Of The Lakes With Structure and Walls on the side of it

+ I Can Tell From Our Phone Conversation That Your Just Trying To Get Information From Me , And Coincidentally Trying To Sell Me claims That He Pilfed From Diamonex behind their back

Claimjumpings some pretty harsh accusations and now that I clearly Explained which lake it is and ITS VISIBLE which lake is in the Pictures

I Think You Owe Me an Apology Mr Tonko
Yes Prospectors Know Where we are at all Times and We dont get lost when researching this area i even purchased Location certificates to be certain I didnt claim jump :)

Dear Bennie Ulibarri:

I did look closely at the pictures and that is why you are in trouble.

Lost Lake and much of the vicinity is held under lode and placer claims that my family and company have controlled for many years. Since you already had copies of my claims when I called you, certainly you should have known the active status of the Lost Lake lode (CMC252654) and South Lost Lakes placer (CMC252645) that you and your accomplice worked on. You shot the photos the afternoon of August 29, 2008 and subsequently posted them on flickr.com on September 1st. You are digging within the waterline and even in the water. I noted that when I checked the Lost Lake claims in early September, my corner posts were intact. I don't see where I owe you an apology, sir!

Your admission "We Even Dug a lil bit" is what can be described as prima facia evidence. You state there aren't any diamonds there...on what basis? Is your opinion based on the sampling that was collected illegally? Are you trying to diminish the value of my holdings? It makes no sense for you to go through so much trouble if you were just making an "honest" mistake. I see no need to discuss your situation publicly from this point.

This incident should serve as a warning to anyone that might be considering "claim jumping".

Sincerely,

Johnny F. Tonko
