Hello Tomato: There is some value in 186., how much I dont know., in the context of being diamond bearing and adding to tonnage calculations on the property. The 2 holes were spaced 55 meters apart., I think as well it is breeciated so the value may not be as high as the sill complex. However if that should prove economic., it would be an underground source seeing it is covered by 100meters of granite. They would have to ramp a decline into the face wall., use shrink stopage mining as a possibility. As far as bulk sampling it., I think 6" coring or RC Drilling would pull a large enough sample to indicate the potential. On the 22 hole intercepts., I dont know what their plans are at this time.., they initially waited on sending in the results pending the valuation returns., we know nothing of the length of the intercepts., except some are 5meters in thickness., As well., I expect the counts if sourced from the S.E. Boulder train to be better than the dyke system., seeing 3 large stones were pulled out of the 290Kg boulders. What is apparent., is that every kimberlite occurance todate on the property has returned excellent grade and the valuations are the best in the NWT. This should be incentive enough to drill every square inch., of Snap Lake to obtain a threshold tonnage. The summer program announcement should at least give one a sense as to size and intent on Abers part which will bolster confidence going forward. Sincerely George J. Tromp
