"Hi xxxxxxx: There has not been an intersection of 8 metres. Also, Mr.
Tromp is well aware of the situation regarding the core he refers to.
The drill core was not submitted for caustic fusion for approximately 6
months. Experts were asked to examine the kimberlite to garner more
knowledge of the emplacement of the dyke, it's age, it's volatile
components etc... information that the Company felt more valuable than
finding out the micro-diamond content. As Mr. Tromp is well aware, at
that point we already knew that the kimberlitic material in the Snap
Lake area was diamondiferous but have always found the structural
emplacement of the dyke system, complex. As you know, once caustic
fusion is processed, the kimberlite is dissolved and all that remains is
diamonds &/or minerals. Valuable data would have therefore been lost on
the make-up of the host rock. For a geology / exploration company to
want that data is hardly a "premise"! It's kind of part and parcel of
the job - studying rocks!
Thanks for asking or at least wanting to clarify! I understand the SI
is a forum for shareholders to chat informally and there's bound to be a
fair amount of mis-understanding or mis-information, but in Mr. Tromp's
case, he should know better as he has had the above explained to him.
Thanks xxxxxxx:
Sophie." |
