This from my father. Apparently the U of A is starting a "Diamond Exploration and Research Training School". Clearly I have some pretty mixed feelings about this, I could definitely benefit from a bit more knowledge, but I don't like the idea of informed competition. Still, it proves my suspicions, you don't operate a forestry management program in the desert, or a mountain climbing program in Saskatchewan, the fact they want to train people suggests they know we're close to the source...
