DeBeers Consoldiated Mines was the direct result of assimilation of
deposits after the intial splurge in S. Africa., they methodically
acquired lessor tonnage deposits., after Kimberly played its course.
So fundamentaly this deposit should offer IMO many incentives
once delineated and proven with some bulk sampling.
Sincerely

That is so very true., as well less enviromental complications., why
couldnt this deposit be mined seasonally and trucked up to the Ekati
without building a permanent year around mine. They could almost
mine a portion., do reclamation as the mining proceeds. Looks to me
if this comes in as a valuable deposit., there could be some nice numbers that may unfold. We shall see.
In fact Walt I might just come up there and look for some dykes
with you., do you have any good places to start. As far as the kimberlite cores., we could collect them and stash them and set up
that toll station., just outside of yellowknife and sell them to those
Gringos touring my mines. We could as well set up a marketing arrangement with those garnets that are by products and sell them to
the tourists as well. If we can gather enough cores., we could slice
them out and ship down to the ol US of A and sell them in the quick
stops along the interstate. I am going to have to have a serious
conversation with you about those garnets and cores.

There used to be considerable excitement over the phrase"diamonds in the core." With all the area for diamonds to be observed in the large tonnage sample would you not think that there would be rumors of diamonds falling out of the sample if the sample is rich?

Are you getting any tidbits from anyone associated with the sample?
