WSP is a continuation of the San Andreas fault. Because of the instability of the thrust fault and constant ground tremors it is probably too unstable to mine. It was thought in the past that the tremors were caused by passing Caribou herds. But since they were all slaughtered to make way for the Ekati mine the continuation of the vibrations is now known to have another source.

By the way since you are sportsman and can judge antlers, how old is the moose on the reverse side of the Canadian 25 cent piece?

And where in Saskatchewan was the grain elevator on the reverse side of the Canadian 1954 one dollar bill?

Greetings Fix,
For those that are into it the fishing is great. This year a fellow caught a 20-30lb Pike in Jackfish Lake which is in the city and has the local power plant use its waters for cooling and someone on the east arm caught a 54lb Lake trout.
Its still warm but we've had some rain so the fire situation has eased considerably.
As for what to call the snap lake kimberlite. Strickly speaking it is a flat lying dyke as it cuts the statigraphy. It doesnt appear to be a root system dyke but the remains of a volcanic erruption in its own right. In south africa it would probably be referred to as a fissure and I dont like using the term vein so maybe call it a fissure dyke.
If it turns into a mine Im sure some bright phd will come up with a great term for this type deposit. Untill the argyl mine came along that type of deposite really wasn't suppose to exist so maybe wsp has found something unigue or the first of its kind. Drilling will tell.
Hope that clouds the issue sufficiently.
regards Walt
