Thanks, George. Much appreciated. Good to have a sense of what
is behind the NR. Those diamond counts on the dyke are going to
be important.

I've decided that we've got to get Sophie onto Oprah. Diamonds in
Canada. Heartbreaking story leading to riches. Stock goes crazy.
We retire. Sophie are you reading this? Think Oprah.

Hi George,

Thanks for the comments. It really helps fill in whats going on at Snap.

My favorite part of the release was: "Caustic fusion analyses of drill intersections from this dyke have indicated that it contains a significant quantity of diamonds."

I don't think they would have made a statement like that unless they were impressed by what they saw from the first 100 tonne sample... That could explain why Turner, McDonald and the Aber geologist were recently called to the site... JMO. Can't wait to hear what the caustic fusion reveals for sure.

Looks like we have about another month before we see if they can find the source in the center of lake.

Just like you've always said George... the source is in the lake!

Cheers,

Chris A.

P.S. Have you heard anything about the new geophysical target they found for lake drilling?

So this is why the lake is being drilled last - because it will be drilled with the small drill, which is lighter (is that a factor?) and because it will remain in camp for the summer, while the big drill has to be taken out while the ice road is in good shape. Do I have that all straight?

Great news about the dyke being another 400 metres wider. Thicker, too, at 2.8 metres, right?

How's the weather up there, Walt? .......... go wsp ...... cheers, all ...... macros
