Hi Jesse, thxs for the response - I guess I am interested in whether anyone else besides Ashton can find a kimberlite pipe, and it appears right now that Marum is about the only ones with an existing drilling/auger program, but some others, VIP, maybe Columbia Yukon are getting ready in the field, and maybe others next month.

My point was that if the auger was able to bring up some of the whatever rock it encountered, that a geologist should be able to tell if it is kimberlite by looking at it. You can't tell if its diamondiferous by looking at it unless your're lucky like Aber, have the core fall apart and show you a 7mm diamond.

The auger seems to be a good idea to conserve money and obtain more positive info as to whether a target is a kimberlite or some other anomaly to bring up a geophysics signature. Hopefully, the review meetings reported to be going on if that is reliable, are to review whatever successes have been achieved to date with this technique.
