Hi Jesse.......... When you dig a 2" hole in the ground, collect the dirt, screen it , come up with some diamonds in the dirt, then,,,,, hey, that's great........even encouraging.........now, when all your buddies are doing the same thing as you only they come up with six, seven or eight times as many diamonds in the same size hole then you should at least blink.... and question your results. Thats all that I'm saying......walk.... don't run.....not yet......Chuck

Jesse - certainly if this is number 91 of whatever number of pipes they have found, there are still lots of chances (always better to have more than one lottery ticket but even then the odds are pretty low). I would expect that the pipes were identified as found in sequence, then prioritized in some way for significance, then prioritized again with regard to the drilling sequence, and maybe some of the pipes are considerable distance from the first group and are in the classification of determining if every target they find is kimberlite, and diamondiferous. So in general it all still looks very positive, and for an area play to develop and really heat up, somebody outside of the Ashton property has to turn one of those so called look-alike targets into a diamondiferous pipe with some good counts in the assay. Its still not clear to me in reading the news releases whether or not we already have the K14C results in the Nov 11/97 news release in the K14-1 to 7 sample numbers which took 8 tons of core. Anyone out there have a comment on that? I would have thought 8 tons of core would have included some of the area around the K14-C goody-goody hole that had about 400 diamonds in 43kg of kimberlite with lots of alluding to fragments from bigger stones?
