I think they have deliberately put this statement in so no-one can claim they should have expected any more than the $26/carat...
The strategy is the same as that used by leading ruby miner Gemfields, which generated US$225 million in seven auctions totalling 8.6Mcts (commercial and gem quality rubies from primary and secondary deposits) over 3.5 years.
$225mill divided by 8.6mill carats is US$26/carat...meaning MUS will get maybe $5mill for its 200,000 carats....so dont scream blue murder when this is the result.

$26/ct is ridiculously laughable. Will be more to the tone of $100-$150/ct worst case but no point tying to convince markets though.
Cheers and Good Luck
