Hello Teevee: That is an interesting theory., and may be proven
true., it seems that multiple dyke emplacements are a given., what
as well seems plausible is 4 distinct areas of intersection., 1st being
the NW dyke penninsula., the second being the S.E. intercepts (4)
in 96 I believe., the 22 hole intercepts with diatreme based small
breeciated bodies., now the deep intercepts to the North showing
split interceptions., my question to you if this is a conical inward
dipping system., composed of kimberlitic layers., would not layers
have been intercepted near the middle of the lake where they drilled
to around 250 Meters., the area of the landing strip last winter.?
The new 2 holes indicate a dip extension to 500 meters off the Penninsula., now we have deeper holes on the E.side of Snap Lake
entering kimberlite in much the same manner as 186 penetrations.
I would love to see a detailed mapping of the current holes at Snap
Lake. The fence drilled across the indicator head were shallow around
75meters average as I recall with the last 4 holes hitting the dykes near the S.E. corner however shallow were those holes as well.
Do you feel that 186 with the deep intersections are part of the layered system extending to the deep holes in the last press release.
Granitic alteration in one of those holes is similiar to 186 parameters.,
where the hanging wall entered unaltered granite. Regardless.,
I feel comfortable in the 4-5 mil tons scenario with potentially much more as the story unfolds. It is a warm fuzzy feeling since most of the
people following the play have positions well below a 1.00C., and if
those following the deep drilling scenario that was laid out in June of
97 are sitting comfortably in the .60C range., I know I am not going
to sell if weakness should occur. I somewhat chuckle at the fact that
six months ago., few if any credited me or this company with this potential. Now it is the darling of newsletter writers and internet promoters accross cyberspace. I am hopeful that the 22 drill holes of
last winter will report some good diamond counts relative to the
counts in the NW dyke system. Many scourned my prediction of
stellar diamond distribution and large stones., I guess I am having
the last laugh now.
Sincerely
George J. Tromp |
