Hi Vaughn, as usual a really great post. a few comments; I don't think Ashton is using Argyle, Australia data to arrive at or determine North slave exploration results, I suspect they would rely on their data obtained from actual findings in Alberta and the expertise of Rio Tinto and the Aber/Diavik data base, I think Aca is presenting very logical, informative information regards their CF results. Their micro/macro relationships are very much in line with and compare to some of the very best to come out of the Lac de Gras area, specifically Diavik, Ekati and Snap Lake. I think the TWG, Jackson Inlet preliminary Kimberlite results and indicator minerals are just amazing, astounding and remarkable, it is difficult to grasp just how good they are when compared with the other early stage exploration info........ I like everyone else am watching this one very closely, thanks for the heads up on the TWG play...... There is just something that I cannot put my finger on that prevents me from diving in at this time, I'm sure it is nothing at all and hope they have the biggest Diamond find in Canada. regards....chuck
