E.Charters......... Excuse me for interrupting but you know that is the best definition I've heard yet to explain what I've been calling the "dyke/sill" and will from now on refer to as the "fissure vein" lets hope we find several blows in the fissures..........chuck

"The answer my friend, is lying near Snap Lake," #reply-4969301 How would you define a sill? Would the thinness of the 'fissure vein' account for the spectacular diamond values by its aiding of the formation of better specimens due to a more optimum cooling rate? Why couldn't three men and a boy go up there and build a mill out of an old potato harvester, hire a local backhoe to do the mining, and make money?

George has presented some evidence for volcanic activity at surface. Do you not find that persuasive? Or is it that you believe the "evidence" can be explained by the venting of kimberlite through the fissure and that a pipe is not necessary for the boulders, the material found in the kimberlite, etc.? From one of your recent posts, I'm assuming that you think rather than drilling here and there based on indicator minerals, they should be tracking the fissure in the hope that along it will be kimberlite areas which will be like small pipes. If I remember correctly, PUG found a blow along a fissure some time back. Caused a short run up but then the grade was very poor and that ended it. However, if the blow had been of the same quality as WSP's, I think we'd have seen a major rise in price.
