WillP's last StreetWire is a very interesting and well balanced document.

Very good point in establishing relations between yesterday's results and the geology as described in the previous drilling results.

I too was a bit disappointed by the last results (was anticipating larger diamonds (re: crater facies)) and questionned the sample locations:

But Will's comments make me realize that if samples were not taken mid-way between the center (and richer) part ot the pipe and it's border may be cause by the fact that there is no near surface kimberlite there!!!!!

Geology seems to be very complex. I would have loved to see the pits located on a geological map and not a geophysical map in Twin's PR. The geophysical map seems to suggest a regular circular/oval shaped body of kimberlite, but I don't think, as Will said, that it is the reality!

I'll try to spend a few hours to try to find out geological details in previous drilling and mapping results and may be back with more in-depth comments in the coming weeks.
