Hi Walt I'm not 100% positive but I believe that prior to last summer,most if not all, Aeromag surveys were flown or set up on 200meter + grid lines....... well come to find out that most of Diamets and Abers pipes(and others) are averaging out to be100 to 150 meter diameter in size. Therefore it seems logical that they might have a second look at some of their property aeromag overflights. There is a good chance that that is how Aber found new pipes on their property, along side existing pipes.Huge, huge, huge areas and little, little, little tiny pipes. It's easy to understand why Turner and his crews are so particular where they drill, sample, etc around Snap Lake, it's a huge area and every time you fart it cost about a 100,000 dollars, so they take extra time, extra research, extra thought, extra everything before they fart so that they don't go broke before finding what it is they are looking for.Just thought I'd throw that in while you were talking techy stuff. Chuck.....PS, I agree with you that colored diamonds in dikes adds a whole new dimension to the play and if it bears out which it probably will, they'll be rewriting the books about the NWT. ...Bye.

Good Morning Walt: As the 98 drilling season approaches for Winspear many new posts will appear on this thread as in the past. For the lurkers and passerbys dont judge Winspears management as to what is posted on this thread. A good deal of bashing has occurred in the last year., I and others have been the obvious recipients. Anytime statements are made on this forum they should be corroborated by the principals at Winspear . I think Kim Evans post recently sums up an unbiased look at Winspears management as well as potential. Sure everyone has been disappointed with the stock performance as of late. My observations to date concerning Winspear geology to date is this. 1.From a cash standpoint it could not be in a better position. 2. From a geological perspective., the target areas are being narrowed down . 3. As for the new boulder area ., we have outstanding diamond counts and geology which supports a neaby source. We have pypropes in the boulder samples up to 2 Cm in size. We have commercial grade stones well over the min. commmercial cutoff grade. 4. The 52% macro/micro ratios and large stones over 1.0mm portends a very diamondiferous source or sources. 5. Upon reviewing known and published releases by Winspear., the target areas for further drilling would be 1. Dyke areas* The potential of Fancies throws all the traditional tonnage valuations out the door. Gem quality pinks or green &yellows would enable a very small tonnage discovery to surpass a large tonnage low value/carat . Dyke systems in S. Africa have been mined for years without the added bonus of Fancies. 2. Further definition drilling on 186 in Snap Lake as well should present another target area. 3. I also feel that the areas in Snap Lake around the Island., up-ice targets from the Sept22 boulder discovery will see some intense drilling as well. I suspect other targets as well will be redefined thru their summer sampling program as well. But hey all you lurkers check Winspear out for yourself do your own DD.
