Denis I notice you guys are still on about these two 250kg sample and I don't quite understand why they are so important in your mind, Tell me what I'm missing. I don't believe there will be any macros to speak of as it seems clear to me that either in situ or in the Diavik plant or wherever they were separated from the 2 x 100 ton pit samples that would have been taken care of and reported already. I guess what I'm saying is that after restudying all of the released data over again I have come to agree with you earlier statement that they were the taken from the rejects.

Any further info obtained from them is likely to be at the academic level and useful only for analytic and comparative purposes along with the drill core results. As Walt explained with his raisin bread and bird seed analogies the fundamental questions we are trying to get answers to are:-

1. Is everything from the same source?
2. Is the macro/micro distribution pattern uniform and what is it?
3. Where is the source feeder?
4. What is the extent, the full extent, of the dyke system (cone sheet)?

Even from my limited knowledge and reading it is obvious that diamond exploration is a painstaking, slow process where all of the analysis can be quite critical to obtaining an understanding of the deposit.

Best wishes

PS when JP talks about his 180 degree theory I wonder if he means upside down, or inside out, or mirror image or just plain right and wrong????
