No, that isn't what they're saying philip, though I understand how you could get that impression. The role that these faults play is uncertain, and ACA says that they may play a role in extrusive events etc. The chief believer in this idea is a chap who worked for DMM named Wilf Jones; he now works for PUG, and this is why PUG staked all the ground proximal to the sweetgras arch. Again, I think this was very good news (I'm certain that many newsletter writers are -- as I write -- penning words to this effect). Remember that the so-called "drill program" that spawned today's news was simply a shallow effort with RC drill aimed at testing OB thickness and to gain the samples. I just wished that they had anounced their intent to go back in and drill Target 7 right away, but I think money's an issue

<<So what there saying is this is part of the ACA fault. If so, would it extend all the way through the juniors properties in between? >> No they are not saying that. The Marum property is not on the same fault as Ashton. There is faults all over the entire area. Marums property is on the North side of the Arch and Ashton is on the south. They have similar geologic characteristics and therefore can be said to be geologically close but any pipes found on the Marum property would be a separate cluster or a separate "shotgun blast" from underneath. Troymin, New Claymore and Absolut (now Blackrun)have the only properties that benefit from the geographic (same shotgun blast) scenariio. You can look on the Troymin website for an overlay of the NWT cluster spread on the Ashton spread. JP

Philip, one important arch could be the Peace River Arch axis, which runs south of Marum eastward, veering slightly north. FY accurate Information, the PRA axis runs south of Ashton's discoveries as well. - Info re. the fault structures: (from MMU website: marumresources.com ) Marum's properties were specifically acquired to capture a coincidence of diverse geological conditions which favour the localization of kimberlite pipe targets. . .* One criterion: - The presence of deep, crustal faults. It appears that the distribution of kimberlite pipes in northern Alberta is directly related to the deep, crustal scale faults associated with the Peace River Arch, especially in areas which contain swarms of smaller stress release faults. Satellite imagery indicates that this apparently essential structural combination exists in the core Ashton permit block as well as in Marum's Chinchaga properties where the Chinchaga valley itself is the surface expression of a deep crustal fault. ---------------- Also, Ashton has already found at least three separate clusters in their drilling on their original claim block. They are anticipating finding many clusters, hopefully each diamondiferous, on the kimberlite field(s) in which they are working. __ Marum has many "kimberlite cluster-like" anomalies on their new 200m airmags, and with the thin OB, we can be reasonably confident. MMU NR (May26/98): marumresources.com ...The new, more detailed results define several new sets of point target patterns that are not related to cultural objects. Moreover, these target patterns, or clusters, although some are linear patterns over 8km long, are not related to glacial till deposits since till is very thin throughout the Chinchaga area. Neither are they related to stream sediment deposits since most of the patterns cut across existing drainage networks. Approximately one third of the targets coincide with slightly elevated topographic mounds. -------------------- Today's informational NR from Marum is packed with scientific positives. The use of words such as 'suggest', indicate' and the like are completely common in Science (required), and if they weren't used in reports, be suspicious. We must pay attention to the facts. - - - Further, Thinner overburden and the proper geological formation at surface is crucial to accessing the kimberlites. See this image re. cretaceous formation at surface: fagan.stockscape.com - - - From MMU NR 04/06 ( marumresources.com ) Preliminary observations from drilling indicate that Cretaceous-age shales, sands and mudstones were intersected. The stratigraphic units tested are likely similar in age and character to the succession of sediments that immediately surround or are intercalated with pyroclastic aprons associated with the Buffalo Head Hills kimberlites. ------- See this image re. the Tuff ring such as the green "sandy tuff" discussed in today's release: fagan.stockscape.com Regards, -j :> PS, for those wishing accurate educational info, please see Fagan's free NewsLetter here: fagan.stockscape.com --take the time to read it, it's worth it!
