721.0. "All that glitters is not SNOW..." by KAOFS::D_STREET (Virtue is relative) Tue Jun 22 1993 15:52

    Heard on the news last night that the North West Territories may have
    diamonds in commercial quantities. I believe there are less than 20
    sites in the world that are currently mined for diamonds, so it would
    be a boon to the NWT and Canada. The major diamond companies are
    already staking out claims.
    
     Anyone got some Huskies and a shovel ?

721.1Don't sell them yet!SUBURB::THOMASHThe Devon DumplingThu Jun 24 1993 05:2216
	Maybe not such a boon as you would think.


	Diamonds are going down in price, the US Military that had loads
	stockpiled, no longer thinks it needs them, and will start to dump
	billions worth on the market.


	It was on the money programme in the UK a few weeks ago, I can't 
	remember much more about it, but they had interviews with very nevous 
	people with major interests in the South African diamond industry, and
	with large dealers.

    figures, as soon as we find we got 'em, there not worth what they used
    to be.

    	Actually, ever since the Elvis impersonation fad started, there
    has been a renewed interest in Diamonds. Just wait till China takes
    hold of the Elvis revolutionary fad, the price will jump through the
    roof.

    	p.s. Hound dogs are also very vogue.

	Its true, the country is becoming overtrodden by viscious bands
	of rogue hound-dogs, why just the other day....what that....vogue?..
	...never mind...

    I hate to break it to you Mike, but those weren't real diamonds The
    King wore. But if we discover a Rinestone deposite, look out !!

    re: last few
    
    Hmmm.  Diamonds and dogs.  It seems to me that David Bowie would 
    have found inspiration in this note.
