It takes at least 2 months to extract a 6,000 ton sample under 5 meters of cover so does anyone know how management expect to move the entire sample to Yellowknife before the winter road melts in April of this year??

What do you think red, another Friday release? We'll get lots of use of our "next" buttons, if that's the case. It would make for a very busy thread again.
Looking forward to the NR,and any other tidbits that anyone attending may pick up at the show next week.

Until management says different I will assume none of the 22 stones from 1 to 5 carats are GEM quality and so all value below $50/carat.

I have to re-post as no-one has adequately explained the discrepancy:

Cts. --- U.S.$ per ct.

10.8 --- $1,500
8.4 ---- $3,000
6 ------ $1,500
4.6 -- less than $50
4.2 -- less than $50
3.5 -- less than $50
3.2 -- less than $50
3.0 -- less than $50
2.6 -- less than $50
2.4 -- less than $50
2.2 -- less than $50
1.9 -- less than $50
1.9 -- less than $50
1.8 -- less than $50
1.7 -- less than $50
1.6 -- less than $50
1.5 -- less than $50
1.4 -- less than $50
1.4 -- less than $50
1.3 -- less than $50
1.3 -- less than $50
1.2 -- less than $50
1.1 -- less than $50
1.0 -- less than $50
1.0 -- less than $50

Carat weights from 4.6 to 1.0 are estimated as management only said they recovered 22 stones from 1 to 5 carats averaging 1.9 carats.

A few people who are saying the top 3 stones are radically different quality from the bottom 22 and the only explanation is that they originated from a different dyke or pipe.

Is there another explanation?
