Where is you spirit of adventure Georges? We are going another kilometer upstream to see if we can find the source of the mighty Nile. If we do not find Lake Victoria, chances are we will find more Nile.

The real worry is that the crocodiles may get you before you get to the source.

Georges: I lack Vaughn's technical knowledge, but I can
tell you the WSP kimberlite is a sheet of huge width (but modest thickness), so knowing its downdip direction and angle allows a very well-informed guess that it will be found under SUF property.

Hello Georges

Sorry for not getting back to you but have been very busy of late.

I think the replies you got pretty much covered any answer I could provide however. I doubt there is a significant degree of data CJ and HB can use beyond what WSP has published and can make available to them.

At the end of the day, you just have to "pays yo muny and takes yo chances."

Good Luck

P.S. Take another look at those map URL's I posted a few weeks back from WSP. They give a pretty graphic picture of the potential and proximity. Geological intrusion distances generally far exceed what you and I might consider a long hike and a kilometer is nothing in this game.

When you consider a pipe or dike coming up 600km through the crust moving just one onehundreth of one meter to the right or left from an earlier branch could easily outcrop 6km from a sibling emplacement.

Look at the GSC maps of all the pipes around Lac de Gras and you will begin to grasp the distances involved. From one end of DMM's economic pipe field to the other is more than 15 km.

SUF's Leopard fissure is believed to be more than 60km long so don't worry too much unless Snap Lakes dike starts plunging at a much steeper angle than nearby drill data suggests.
