MINES ARE MADE WITH RESULTS LIKE THESE. THE GRADES ARE INCREDIBLY CONSISTENT. Anyone who has been involved in evaluating diamond grades in kimberlite bodies will know that there can be large grade variations over short distances within a kimberlite pipe (hence the necessity of large bulk samples). A good example of this is the Wesselton pipe in South Africa, which shows huge variations in cpht's over a few meters. Part of the problem is the phenomena of multiple intrusions within the pipe. However, for fissures (which, I believe is what Snap Lake really is, just lying on its side!!) the grades tend to be very consistent in depth and strike, ie: Klipspringer,Gauniamo,Star,Helam etc etc. Snap appears to be a slow single intrusion with a very low viscosity.
WAS IT WORTH WAITING FOR?? ANYONE WHO HAS TO ASK THIS QUESTION SHOULDNT BE IN THIS STORY. A GEOLOGIST CAN SPEND HIS/HER WHOLE LIFE AND NEVER EVEN GET CLOSE TO SOMETHING AS GOOD AS SNAP LAKE. IF THE STOCK DROPS ON MONDAY ITS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GEOLOGY OR THE GRADES !!!!
