I agree. I especially like these 2 comments. Follow-up geochemical programs have tested over 1,200 modern alluvium, lake sediment and glacial till samples, with results being positive beyond expectations. Numerous well-defined indicator mineral dispersion haloes have been identified, and in some cases, indicator mineral counts of up to several hundred grains per sample have been recorded. Morphological characteristics and surface textures on the indicator minerals are consistent with a proximal source. In addition, the presence of significant numbers of G10 garnets and high interest chromites establishes a positive diamond potential for the targets. Positive beyond expectations! can't be much more positive than that! and this These minerals define discrete plumes in certain areas, the best of which occur within two groups of claims staked by the joint venture in 1999. In one area, numerous highly subcalcic G10 garnets with compositions similar to some of the best occurring at Lac de Gras, NWT, have been recovered. This provides compelling evidence for the presence of richly diamondiferous kimberlites in the region. Moreover, the morphology and surface textures of the grains indicate that they have undergone minimal transportation in the secondary environment, implying that the source kimberlite(s) should be close by. with all these positive results they have got to hit paydirt somewhere. or I guess that should be pay kimberlite!
