one of the standard measuring gages for early diamond exploration is to drill a hole in the ground anywhere from 10 to 300 meter deep hoping that one will intersect Kimberlite, when the Kimberlite is intersected it is logged and measurements/wts taken for further examination by Geologist/explorers,then sent off for Caustic Fusion analysis to determine if the Kimberlite core is Diamondiferous.
You already know this because you have been posting on these threads for years.
Ashton is at this point in their North Slave exploration and the results they have received from the Artemisia and Potentilla relate Micro/Macro diamond counts that are equal to any (but a few) of the early samples of the Diavik, Ekati and Snap Lake CF results. This is fact.
You are making veiled comparisons to Ashtons early days in the Alberta, Buffalo Hills explorations.
I suspect you have not done any due diligence at all regards Aca/North Slave play but are basically just shooting from the hip as well as the mouth.
Otherwise I have always enjoyed your post's you have always appeared to be knowledgeable until now.
