To all and sundry:

Just to pass the time while we wait for the technical news, and in the wake of the many melted plastic funnels all over North America, here is the technical definition of a cone sheet as per the Dictionary of Geological Terms, third edition, prepared by the American Geological Institute:

cone sheet: A dike that is arcuate in plan and dips at 30 degrees to 45 degrees toward the center of the arc. Cone sheets occur in concentric sets, which presumably converge at a magmatic center. They are commonly associated with ring dikes.

Definition of arcuate: curved or bowed.

ring dike: A dike that is arcuate or roughly circular in plan and is vertical or inclined away from the axis of the arc. Ring dikes are commonly associated with cone sheets.

dike: A tabular body of igneous rock that cuts across the structure of adjacent rocks or cuts massive rocks. Cross reference; sill

sill: A tabular igneous intrusion that parallels the planar structure of the surrounding rock.

Sweet glittering dreams folks. And now that the financing is done you will have it hot n' heavy for the rest of the week! Remember only 9 trading days left till the Nov. 30 close when we sort out the bears from the bulls and see who had balls. Keep yer fingies on the buttons boys n' girls.

PS: There are reports of cone sheets occurring in the Fort a La Corne kimberlites, and a rumor of one in Siberia.
