General regional size and potential kimberlite field/ pipes are two completely different things. In terms of land, both areas (territory/ province) are HUGE, w/ most of Alberta starting to look prospective. Now, Alberta is huge (something like 1.4million square miles? - just a guess). But your question is best left to Fipke, who tried to source out the Kimberlite in the Lac De Gras, NWT (travelling something like 2000km up ice?? to end up there), thereafter staking out all of what he thought was highly prospective land (indicator minerals, etc). It wasn't until he and team had silently done this before they announced the true significance of the area (ie, after they'd sewn up land). Ashton, unfortunately for them, did not have this luxury, and lost out a lot of the prime claims to NCS, MEO, TYR, and EVR, etc. who prudently rushed in started staking when they noticed Ashton's activity. -Ashton is still being very prudent in what they reveal, plugging away. They did manage to get lot of land. And they have been batting a 1000 with their K. hits! We don't know how extensive this discovery 'area' may be... -j :> PS-- The above is likely full of inaccuracies-- it's outta my mini primary memory (it's overstuffed w/ frivol!)
