TeeVee,
<<<Nice rumor. Hmmmmmmm. Maybe some European buying is being lined up for the TSE listing? A big rock or two in the 500 Kilogram sample would be nice too.>>>

Hmmmmmmmmmmm is right.
No matter what will take place in the near future, we have to remember that it takes a lot of time to prove any deposit.
Only time will tell, but it is a marvelous play I must say.

Regards

Did I read things wrong, I thought that the 200 tonne sample was run through the mill, macro diamonds were extracted, and 500kgs of what was left over was put aside for CF analysis. Did they actually save 500 kgs from the totally unprocessed ore? It could serve as a check on micros but I doubt that it would have any value as a check for macros on the 200 tonne sample.

Much more likely, there is something, new big and sparkely from more recent drilling or poking around that needs to have a value attributed to it. There were rumours on the thread earlier that they had bumped into a rather nice raisin in the loaf very recently which might offset a big part of the exploration expenses this winter.

It is my own opinion that due to the "dynamic emplacement process" that created this deposit, we will be in for some very positive and perhaps even heart stopping surprises under the permafrost. There is a little mystery here that the sleuths can solve. The hints are all around. Snap Lake will reveal all her secrets in time. If you like big diamonds, you have nothing to fear.
