Yes, you certainly have to commend the ACA task force-- A-1 in terms of sealed leakage-- very impressive. (It's funny, one day I'm complaining of Ashton's withholding of info from shareholders, the next I'm congratulating them for their ability to keep leaks plugged!). :^) This time it's their field workers I'm commenting on!
I think the results should lend to our theory of bulk-sampling worthiness. Kaiser has come out with his 1998 BF guide, and has again stated the promise that AB offers, including, (Martin :>), the opportunity for many more pipes to be yet discovered (in the 100's) on Ashton's properties. JK comments on the odds against the pipes to date being the best in the area, meaning that in terms of probability, we should find even greater pipes.
"The Alberta diamond play won't be dead until every kimberlite on the 25 million acre Buffalo Head has been tracked down and tested for diamond content. "
Kaiser also points out the comparatively large size of the pipes found in AB thus far, as well as the reduced costs in mining. This means that if a pipe, say, near the grade of Aber's A154 is discovered, profitability margins would be much greater (as he puts it, "Don't ask what would happen...!").
Cheers,
