It would appear that our friends in the Juina Mining District of Brazil are on to something. I've mentioned on a few posts that I think that our Juina Mining(GEMM) is part of this operation...just a gut fealing. As always, JMHO. Later,

Sao Luis Mining Applies for a Permanent Diamond Mining License on Its Second Brazilian JV Concession, Having Been Awarded It on Its First Property
Wednesday October 31, 6:00 am ET
GARDNERVILLE, NV--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 31, 2007 -- Sao Luis Mining, Inc. (Other OTC:SAOL.PK - News) (Frankfurt:F5G.F - News) (www.saolmining.com), a diamond mining and precious metals exploration company, has filed the final exploration report with Brazil's Department of National Mineral Production (DNPM) necessary which is necessary to receive a permanent mining license to commence production mining on its Joint Venture Property 117. Upon approval and receive the Guia de Utilizacão.
The final report was filed within just a year of the Company receiving government approval to conduct experimental mining to validate the economic viability of Property 117. Based on the amount and quality of diamonds that bulk sampling produced, together with extensive geologic documentation, the Company filed for the permanent permit on October 19, 2007.
In June 2007, after demonstrating the diamond mining viability of its adjacent Property 231, a former DeBeers concession, Sao Luis Mining was granted a permanent production-mining permit. These two concessions encompass 2728.38 hectares, or 6742 acres.
Based on geological surveys and test mining of both properties, the company expects to recover substantial amounts of diamonds for the next two decades and probably, far beyond that. Geological surveys on Property 231 defined a surface resource of 12,695,000 carats with an average grade of 1.645 carats per cubic meters. The report did not take into account diamonds below the surface in three primary sources at lower depths, or even the secondary alluvial gravels deposited below the surface.
When Property 117 receives its permanent mining permit, and both Properties are in full production, the Company expects that significant economies of scale will occur. For example, it will be able to use the state-of-the-art Dense Media Separation (DMS) Plant it has ordered from South Africa on property 231, as well a second DMS processing plan and ancillary equipment on Property 117.
