Thats a good question GF: First the norm for delineation drilling is usually 2" drill cores. Most were transportable with helicopters from target to targets which Aber used successfuly. So initially one would start drilling (Kimberlite search) with 2" cores. In the case of Abers pipes the cores were drilled around 200Meters in depth. initially., the min-bulk was accomplished using 6" cores more than likely to similiar depths but dont have that info in front of me to verify. The object and purpose was to identify the limits of the kimberlitic source both geographically as well as structurally with the 2 cores. Notice most Aber releases were "cut say 210meters of kimberlite., and the drill stopped in kimberlite." So Aber chose to delineate with 2 inch an mini-bulk with 6 inch. After the intial mni-bulk., and further definition drilling after the declines were dug., drill stations were installed for more drilling. As I recall. on 418 2 inch drills were set up to drill from the 250 meter range down to 400 meters to again delineate the ore from 250 on. As I recall they then secured larger bulk samples with six inch cores from drill stations as well. So all in all., I would say the deepest penetration on 418 initially was in the 303 meter range using the small drills. Angular holes in target definition will be somewhat shorter depending on the angle of the drill., the purpose is to intersect 1 vertical with 2 angular to confirm pipe configuration. If Winspear proceeds in the manner Aber did., I would expect to see those types of drill sizes used. No I didnt ask Sophie about the depth of the ice., slipped my mind. I believe the conversation about deeper drilling is connected more in the search for Kimberlite and pipe delineation than anything else. My read on the Min-bulk is restricted only to the ability of having the permits and a snow road to transport equipment in. George
