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

As the owners/founders of this site and moderators of this forum it's very important to us that information here is as accurate as possible, credited to the right author, posted in honesty and with integrity as stated in the forum rules everyone who registers agrees to during registration.
After several days composing this through much thought I feel compelled to post the following.

Although much of this threads earlier posts by Bennie have great info (hopefully credited properly if quoted from others), this doesn't change the facts that he's self admited to claim jumping both in this thread and to myself and others in person via the chat room on repeated occosians, according to him, in this state and Wyoming. (both federal and state lands) Even though myself and several others repeatedly offered information to learn how not too. We all also clearly stated to him repeatedly in chat that claim jumping is not acceptable and is punishable by law. Apparently this was not important enough info to his explorations or simply disregarded. All information offered for free even though he was not ever a club member!
No matter at this point.
I was expecting a wholesome oops I'm sorry, just learning or something along those lines from Bennie in this thread and I've been completely astonished/disappointed at his responses since.

From what I personally remember in the last year from Bennies posts and chat discussions.........He volunteered for a mapping project prior, then in the last year started prospecting (his first year), and since, he's learned how to not only become an expert diamond prospector, but he also recently started a website to hire himself out as a mining exploration consultant for the "big dawgs" as Bennie put it.

On his exploration consultation site (TrigonMining) in the "Projects and Commodities" section, he uses (for several months now) a pic of some spiffy aqua's from Colorado with the caption of "Located from a potential new mine, Southwest Colorado", still on site as of today.


and yet he posted the same pic here in the CP forums saying "Earlier this year I Visited My Friends 50 million dollar Pegmatite Mine , I wont Talk about it too much about it but heres some of the neat stuff we uncovered one summer day."

HMMMMMM fishy. Wonder which it is.....a new deposit under exploration (handy sales pitch for consultation?) or is it in fact a claim? Again doesn't really matter, what does matter is that misleading or misinformation such as these situations demonstrate are very much frowned upon in the mining world.

As many older members of the CP online community know full well..........WE WILL NOT PUT UP WITH DISHONEST BUSINESS ATTEMPTS THROUGH THIS SITE!! As we feel Bennie is attempting to do on the internet via this site/thread.

We do not often lock or moderate like this but, this thread will now be locked off to further replies, everyone may still read it anytime. We have and can start more threads with postive flows of information.
A friendly reminder to Bennie, as well as everyone else, the internet is a very public media including this forum, flicker, your site, or chat rooms.

Thanks to everyone for the great info in this thread and lets all remember to keep things respectful from here on out.

Respectfully,
CP
