Hello Frank Thank you for the invitation but I am already spending too much time posting here on SI. Its taking away from time I should be spending on work and with my family. I trust you understand. WillP, by and large is saying pretty much what I probably would be saying. Perhaps hedging a bit more conservatively on some things and a bit more optimistically on others, but in general we agree on a great deal. I doubt I would have much to add to what I read. Keep well. Regards Vaughn

Although clearly an interesting speculation,...there are a few things about Jackson Inlet to worry about. We seen to be having a rather long wait for the caustic fusion results on the remaining 19 of 20 NQ holes drilled to various depths in several pipes which would give us further information on kimberlite nature and diamond continuity. The fact that only a 5 meter section of one core has been reported on, even though another core was said to have been processed at the same time as reported in the NR of Dec 13/02, raises a warning flag suggesting only selective results (the best) are being reported quickly. These cores are an important piece of evidence, given that all preceding samples have been taken from surface locations which may be subject to effluvial concentration of diamonds present,...meaning the top part of the pipe may have a higher diamond grade than the rock below. The logging of the rock in the core would also give some indication of the structural character and competency of the kimberlite, and the surrounding limestone host rock giving some indication of the ease and costs of operating a open pit mine. If the limestone surrounding and underneath the pipe are as fractured as the limestone and rock in the top of the pipe, caving in of the walls of the pit will be a problem which would raise the cost of mining considerably.
