Hi Vaughn,
What you did was talk about areas hundreds of miles away from Snap Lake, with different topographies and geology's,...and never explained why pipes of the same age as the Snap Lake dyke exist a few dozen miles away from the Snap Lake root system. Why weren't they eroded down to root systems too? Perhaps De Beers should sink some drill holes beneath these pipes and see if these root system are as diamondiferous as the Snap Lake one. Dykes and fissures are more numerous in the world than kimberlite pipes. Why couldn't one be produced that is on average 3 meters in width, and full of diamonds, and run for miles and miles? The answer is,...it could. And that's the final answer (gggggggggggggg).
Why couldn't we call pyrope garnets that have very high Chromium, and low Calcium, substantially above the 85% Gurney plot line,... G11's and G12's. The answer,...seems like someone has. Is it in a paper?,...I don't know or care,...I accept it, makes sense to me, and Randy Turner too. Seems Randy found something bigger and better than a lot of PhD's have found. He kept on plugging along after many laughed at him. However, even De Beer's eventually decided he had something. Maybe just another Bre-X (gggggggggggg).
I agree, I too have better things to do than splay whole contents of papers done by folks that come to conclusions that may or may not be true about the area I'm looking at.
Your from Missouri,...I just want to make some money, and not get sucked in by crap again. SUF did it to me once, it will be a little harder to do so again, not impossible, but harder.
I expect the money that jumped from Winspear into SUF, DSP, and ABZ (mine too) will soon start to get antsy. You have to begin to wonder how much it will cost just to prove up a resource? How many holes has WSP put into the ground, at considerably less depth than 800 meters or so that may be the norm for the dyke under SUF and DSP ground. ABZ looks like the better bet (they have a share of the dyke on land where it is close to the surface, and cheap enough to mine), but it has run a lot.
How much will it cost to run an adit down to the dyke at 800 meters depth (this ain't SAf)? How about the cost of a bulk sample? How many years will it take? How will a company like SUF, with no money to fund such a program do it? Dilution? Will Rudi and his board allow it after the first glory hole? What about the experience with the fissures in SAf? Will the same mistakes be made? Will platinum prices stay up, or will we switch to fuel cells and hybrid gas/electric cars which could cause the need for Pt catalysts to diminish, and the price of Pt to sewer as a result?
Stay tuned for the answers. Same hamster time,...same hamster channel (gggggggggggggggggg). |
