A couple years ago when (I think it was Aber) bringing their bulk sample to Yellowknife about twenty miles out of town one of the "bags" fell off of a low boy onto the side of the road and burst. There was free kimberlite laying on the side of the road for anyone who wanted to drive out and get it for a day or two untill the truckers got back out to pick it up. The mine at Lupin is under care and maintenance I believe so there is a twenty to thirty person crew there and that is where Lytton was going to do their bulk sample. Havent seen any trucks coming through town with samples yet. I understand the MPV sample is going to be shipped south and for a long haul like that they may put the sample inside of transport trucks. It would be nice if all the trucks had to have a big sign on them saying where they were going and what they were hauling. It would make things easier. Also since shareholders and those interested always want more info maybe companies could set up some cameras on site and run the feed to a web site then people could tune in each day to really see what is going on. Better yet a company could make money doing this with a pay to view arrangement with the cable companies. I would pay a couple bucks to see what those pits look like after they blast into the kimberlite. A couple years ago they blamed the mild weather on El Nino then it was El Nina, I dont know what they are blaming this year on but I have heard that in the Mtns in BC there is record snow pack in some areas and they are expeccting some interesting times come spring. regards all, Walt
