Which would you prefer, a diamond or a barrow full of dirt you can't grow anything in? There are many of these operations in Africa and Central America but they all have one thing in common: They are all illegal and dangerous. Jobs best left to the pros. LOL

When I think of Rudd's "the minerals belong to all of us" statements I visualise thousands of people with a pick, shovel and wheelbarrow digging up the Pilbra. Once you've got your barrow load, what do you with it? Panning for gold is different but I don't know of any listed company working...
