Author: WillP -- Date:1999-03-01 15:12:44 Subject: Trying to Quit...On the Patch Re: jspec - Feeder pipe(s): Smoke or Fire Winspear's Snap Lake pipe(s) are alot like smoking cigarettes...after a few years at it, it's really hard to quit. Cold turkey is a harsh approach...one that DHK, ACA and others have been forced to try. Far more soothing is to switch your craving to something else...in this case...the 'dyke' or 'cone sheet' are appropriate aids to giving up the pipe. A pipe or pipes under Snap Lake would probably not be of much immediate (10 year) use...unless you get into the coffer dam situation. The only dykes I want to contemplate at Snap Lake...are already there. "Emplaced" as teevee would say. :-) You also have to consider the 'standard' textbook view of a pipe...translated into the typical NWT formations. Most of the economic pipes discovered to date tend to peter out in horizontal extent below 400 metres. Is there any reason to place great hope on the Snap Lake feeder(s) being any different? One does expect, after all...given the slope of the sill/dyke formation(s)...that a blind feeder would top out at around the 450 metre level, roughly. I was wondering about that 'second' layer found on the north shore as well. I wonder if that will be a continuing trend. It's possible that many of the prior holes weren't drilled deep enough to encounter it, I suppose. It's my guess that any second sheet (Arrrggh...I've used the word!) would not have great extent, however. Interesting idea about mag lows suggesting two feeders. Could be...or not. One thing I'm pretty sure of...there's going to be plenty of surprises the more holes that are poked in and around Snap Lake. Many of them will be pleasant ones. Here's to pleasant surprises... WillP
