A couple questions for Ashton re. the news report today: "Microdiamond Analyses Samples from the final three of the nine kimberlites discovered last winter have now been analyzed in the North Vancouver and Perth laboratories. Each sample is from a vertical reverse circulation hole on targets in the eastern portion of the area. The results returned only one microdiamond from kimberlite K-32, while kimberlites K-93 and K-15 showed no microdiamonds. No further field work is planned at this time on these three kimberlites." For each hole, was the entire sample processed or just selected intervals? If so, on a hole-per hole, how much sample was processed relative to the total sample? On the three pipes, how many holes were drilled in total, three? Or were there more holes drilled. If so, when will the remaining samples be processed? - - - - - Incidentally, it's been pointed out that there really isn't any optional place where ACA can get a 400 tonne sample processed, except in the NWT, but there is no way that ACA will let its sample get near a plant that has processed NWT material from diamondiferous kimberlite up there. It seems ACA plans to wait and have K-14 bulk sampled in the ACA plant in Alberta. -j :>
