Jesse:and all,Just wondering,How do they get the bulk sample? I'm thinking that the sample should be from drill cores,to ensure proper depths are being tested, the only problem with this would be that it would take forever.Do they just go in with a backhoe and dig it? thanks in advance:Andy

You're mighty welcome, DJ! In that same vein, Goepel Shields issued an excellent 36 page report dated January 28th entitled "Diamonds". It is said to contain great info on the world's diamond mines and diamond industry. --They recommend Dia Met, Aber and SouthernEra as Buys and Ashton as a Speculative Buy. The author/analyst is Rob Klassen (604-661-1785) - - - - - PDAC (Mar.8-11/98( website-- pdac.ca - - - - Regards, -j :> PS, Ando, Re. the bulk sampling drill program (in excess of 1,100,000 lbs, or 500t +)- GOOD question! I hope someone more knowledgable will field that. I can say this: LDC (large diameter core, 6"+) drills are used-- Diamet used drills ranging from 10 5/8" diameter up to 30" for bulk sampling. -I wonder how deep ACA will want to go ...? -- you may wish to refer to G.Tromp's post discussing such matters (minibulk...): Message 3300339 Perhaps George himself would be gracious enough to answer your question here! :-)
