Jack Yes anything that is over .5mm is considered a Macro Diamond sure they are small but take a look at some rings sometime. For finding a 3.475 in a boulder it is very significant.Theses boulder on the NW peninsula were found the same way. Thats were the 200ton sample was taken and very large stone showed up in this sample. Yes the south peninsula has show bigger stones in the boulders and I think this also comes too surface as the NW peninsula. As for The feeder winspear does have a couple of low mag targets that will be drilled looking for the feeder.Don't forget this is a very complex geological puzzel with a complex glacial history in the southern area where companys look for Pipes or Dykes. Cheers.

Generally diamonds that will not fit through a screen .5 mm or 1.0 mm square or exceeding 1 mm in any dimension, depending on whose standards you use, are considered macrodiamonds. Macrodiamonds are generally difficult to find outside of significant sample material. If you are poking around and bump into a 3.5mm macrodiamond it would generally mean that you are close to a significantly diamondiferous source. Recently some people in the diamond hunt have theorized that the best pipes in the NWT may have a very subtle signature and really not stand out much. Apparently there are several weak mag signatures towards the NE part of Snap Lake if I remember right. One of the best people to speak to about this is Vaughn who may be located on the Southernera thread.

Not WSP pipes "Additionally, diamondiferous kimberlite pipes DI-02 (WI block) and DD-17, DD-39, DD-42 (DHK block) will be re-examined. An earlier exploration program tested these pipes by diamond drilling the magnetic anomalies associated with these pipes. Exploration experience acquired over the last few years has indicated, however, that the pyroclastic facies of the NWT pipes have a low or no magnetic signature and sometimes contain higher diamond counts than the magnetic phase. The work this year will test the previously discovered pipes for other possible diamondiferous kimberlite phases." dentonia.com

If a feeder pipe is 500 meters below the ground level, a mag survey taken from the air would likely not have any chance of showing an anomaly,too much interference from overlying rock,...nor would a ground based survey. They have to drill to find it. They do have a mag low (one based on recent ground surveys (fall 1998) just off the north shore of Snap Lake around L16-17. Talk to RT,...he will tell you personally if you'd like,...and he can fill you in on the MRDI study. And if you have the mining background you say you have, perhaps you can provide meaningful comment. Forget the bullst you get on the thread,...talk to the first source. Remember, if RT bullsts you, he goes to jail for 10 years and pays lots of compensation and fines. russett
