There are surface protrusions that very well may be kimberlite, the company's are looking at this things as a complete project though. Drilling is expensive and they are attempting to complete as much of the surface work as possible and to delineate their best plan of attack, not just "a" plan. I know it can be somewhat more painful this way, in the short run, from our position (small investors in waiting) but in the long run it should serve us well.

Now, there has been some suggestion that the work being done is based on outdated thinking. I am not an expert an so shouldn't comment on the validity of the operational methodology, however, I will support the philosophical methodology. They can't be doing all this for promotional build-up, cause they aren't doing much promoting.

Salut,
Leigh McBain

The emplacement period was 85 million years ago; glaciation was 10,000 years ago. Do the math. The latter does not preclude the scenario you described.

Also, K11 was not found "with a dozer while clearing the pad."

K6, I believe, was used as a helo pad for years by oil companies before it was identified as a kimberlite. T

This was revealed by John Auston at MEG in Calgary, before K11 was found.
