<< With the pipe some 700 meters minumum below the surface it would make it just a tad difficult especially considering that it obviously did not take the surface outcroppings of the dyke which are still there. >> Gord, I didn't say that WSP's pipe was touched by a glacier! As a matter of fact, I'm not even convinced that WSP has a pipe in the first place!! The have a dyke, which may or may not have a pipe that feeds it.... However, let's say that their pipe is 700m? below the surface. Before the last ice age, it may have been 800m below the surface? (I'm just making up numbers as a general example) So during the last ice age, glaciers may have ripped 100m of overburden from the Snap Lake area. Now let's say that the dyke used to extend up to within 50 meters of the "old" surface. When the glaciers passed over and removed 100m of overburden... they grabbed the top 50m of the dyke!!! That is the material that would be scattered around Snap Lake, indicating that there is a source of diamonds nearby (I would have said "possible source", except we know WSP's dyke has diamonds).
