fIXER:
They have a 2-dimensional display of what they envisioned happened. A series of sheets were produced at different times, one is extruded towards the northwest peninsula, another towards the east, another towards the south, another towards the middle of the lake, but not reaching the northwest peninsula. All together they form a cone sheet, but not continuous, more like wings of a butterfly. Some are underneath the others, which is the reason they got two, 2.5 meter thick intercepts in one of the north shore holes. There may be more sheets under the ones they have intercepted so far.
Winspear geologists don't seem to care whether they find the pipe or not. They think they have all the material they need to make one hell of a mine in the sheets alone. But the mag low is there, in the north east of the lake, right on the "snap-crackle" fault that runs east to west along the north shore of the lake and they envision it to be the source of the multiple sheet extrusions.
Diamond grade or concentration in each sheet is the same, as shown in the published findings, and the Winspear geologists believe those concentrations of diamonds are very, very good. Compare them to the Lac de Gras findings and I think you would agree.
