Great Post Walt,

I wish there was a WSP Hall of Fame Thread (oh great! another WSP thread) that could help newcomers come up to speed and preserve some of the 'gems' here penned. With 17,000+ posts, it is a shame that the great ones slide downstream into oblivion along with the bilge.

If WSP turns out to be half as rich as the diversity of characters and points of view on this thread, we investors will be well rewarded.

Hello Walt, I feel the dyke WSP has found will be mined and it will be mined under the lake as well. I have no problem accepting that as fact. WSP is taking the right track by defining what they know is there. I also think that there is a huge feeder system that will be found as time goes on and that is what I would like to find some way of putting the data together in order to predict its location.

There was a lot of pressure needed to lift the rock above what we now call the NW dyke. It is not like the kimberlite just found a crack in the ground and ran along it. Pressure acts in multiples of the surface area the source applies it to. Also higher pressure equals lower melting temperature. These two facts discount a small feeder in my opinion. What ever caused this is huge.

I think it is located in the NE Inlet. If it were to close to CL-186 we would not have the sheet that extends to the NW peninsula as it would have found relief to easily.

Have a good day,

bk

Good post Walt.
I also looked at the last financial on Sedar for WSP, and after having seen quite a few of these from other Van/Nasdaq companies, I have to say this one looks real! Figures appear normal, nothing out of the ordinary and nothing the likes of 3rd party loans, 3rd party consulting fees in the 100's of Ks, bad investments in other related companies, nothing of the sort.
The way RT handled ABER was probably the only honest and professional way to do it, and splitting off the company appears to be a fair deal for all.
So far I feel good about it all plus the story line just keeps on fitting together well as we progress. There does not a appear to be any dangerous gaps all leading me to believe that the bulk samples we are waiting for will not be a disapointment such that it will clean us out. At worst, it will prove a profitable mine IMO, at best it could be one if not the richest in the world.
Wish I could see the catch, but I don't smell it at this time. - regards - denis

Walt, thanks for your invite - much appreciate.

Really enjoy your reporting of the situation & surrondings over there,
tell us about Town if you can slip it in.

In regards to the shape of kimberlite - it forms a PIPE ONLY IF IT REACHES THE WATER TABLE and blows up making a nest for itself usually in the form of a Champagne glass - underground pipes do not exist !

Once under ground I will say Kimberlite and Lamproite have the same form - THIN dikes & sills only.

Awaiting eggs, tomatos and other ravings & rantings from the crowd,
I remain yours.
