The kimberlite I have seen from WSP dyke is a grey (slight green tinge) fine grained homogeneous competent rock. It would appear to be harder and less suseptable to weathering then material from most pipes.
As for logistics, if WSP and Kennedy Lake were to go ahead as Vaughn pointed out it might be easier to put a port on the east arm of great slave lake and run a road north to the sites. If you look at the map these sites are alot closer to the Mcleaod bay on Great Slave then they are to Yellowknife via the winter road.
Years ago when tundra mines etc were in operation there was a small port there, so it might be an answer to some of the logistics. There is a rail like to Hay River and then barge to the port and truck north from there.
