Author: WillP -- Date:1999-03-08 19:44:42 Subject: Strike Length vs. Down Dip Seems to be a bit of confusion on SI about these terms, and probably elsewhere as well. The northwest dyke slopes downward to the east, at about a 12-15 degree angle...the farthest eastern drill hole that intersected said dyke is about 2200 metres to the east of the outcrop on the northwest peninsula. Hence...the down-dip extent is 2.2 kilometres. Drilling has extended the perpindicular dimension significantly...from 1350 to 2000 metres, according to the news release. This dimension is referred to as the strike length. This dimension runs parallel to the outcrop...and has a roughly constant depth...that depth being zero where the kimberlite actually outcrops. So...picture a rectangle roughly 2000 by 2200 metres. However...test holes are really really sparse over much of that rectangle. Looking real good so far, though! Regards, WillP Regards, WillP
