Hello Peter I believe their field or YK ability to process samples referred to geochemical samples but even that would not have include micro-probing which has to go to a lab like Lakefied, etc. Kimberlite drill cores are quite obvious and distinctive from granite or gniess or even a breccia pipe so you certainly do not need a lab to say whether you hit kimberlite, and after two holes or one angled hole you know whether its a pipe or not so there is no reason not to announce that as it is significant news. Geochemical matching between train grains and core pyrops, etc., and diamond content is another matter again and usually requires caustic disolution by a lab like Lakfield and probing, but there has certainly been enough time for that anyway. So: 1. What was found? 2. Were there pipes? 3. Why were we not told? 4. What is the diamond content? 5. Why only six tagets and not the 15 announced previously? 6. Will drilling continue into the summer as previously announced? 7. What are the companies Yamba & NWT plans from here? Have a good one Peter. Regards
