Tomato,
I am aware of the kimberlite sheet in Tanganyika. As far as I know, it is not diamondiferous or very low grade. I know nothing about the cone sheet in Greenland.

It is interesting how the market is apparently having trouble accepting the tonnage and grade continuity implications of a cone sheet in the context of the outstanding results to date. I can assure you I sleep well at night. When the dust settles, there will be a lot of upset people with kaiser and bishop. As for the rabid sociopaths who have taken over the winspear thread, I don't care-there opinions (if you can call them that) are worthless. As someone who buys and holds special situations like this, I don't worry about price gyrations-in fact they are always a harbinger of good things to come.
regards,teevee

Tomato, I came form a big mining camp and asked a few of my geo friends if they had ever heard of this cone-sheet theory. None had. It's probably something that's been called the wrong thing.
You know what it looks like to me.... ever put the turket juice in the fridge after supper and look at it the next day. Fat on the top, "concaved".
I'd rather think that the cone sheet is simply the "pipe" which has over time conctracted downwards after cooling and the kimberlite lake that it formed simply colapsed over it into broken sheets. Check the angle of the sheets, 15-20% dip all going towards an apparent "sink hole".....How's that for a desktop geologist!!!! - regards - denis
