I spoke with SUF IR and another source yesterday. Apparently Chris Jennings has told everyone at SUF that there is to be an info blackout coming out of SUF people regarding Munn Lake. You Don't believe it call their Munn Lake partners. This is what I got from a source other than the company so take it as rumor. They have been drilling what appears a pipe since they put out the release Apr 1 that they had hit Kimberlite in two separate targets 100m apart in Sonic drill holes. Exert from release below. All I could get was that they have stopped updating their JV partners and that they were still drilling and that there would be no news till the drilling was over. Approx 3 more weeks of drilling. Apparently they are on about their 9th hole and they were able to find a shallower part of the Lake where they were able to drill an angle hole. I was told that they are using the largest diameter core that drill can handle, about 2.5 -2.75? This has slowed the rate of drilling a bit. The reason for this larger dia is obvious to most of us here. Sounds fairly significant to me that CJ would order an info ban. Thought I'd mention that my source also told me that certain SUF management is rather pissed off at a certain SI poster, I won't mention any names but apparently the guy has gone as far as to wait around where SUF geologist Howard Bird, was staying to get a chance to pry some info. This is also rumor not from SUF but I kinda believe it as the source is good Andy From the Apr 1 SUF release Munn Lake Kimberlite Target Area The results of the recently completed sonic drilling program suggest that the kimberlite boulders found on the shoreline of Munn Lake are derived from an inferred north to south trending, steeply dipping, kimberlite body. This appears to be at least 105 metres in strike length. Two of the vertical sonic drill holes intersected kimberlite bedrock up to 1.4 metres in thickness. Both sonic holes bottomed in kimberlite after reaching their limit of bedrock penetration and hence the true thickness is unknown. The kimberlite boulders on the shore are up to 25 metres in diameter. The presence of pyrope and other indicator minerals, plus a visual study of the kimberlite material, suggest the two kimberlite intersections are similar to the kimberlite boulders found on shore. The chemistry analyses, to confirm this conclusion, are pending. The inferred kimberlite body lies within a north-northwest trending lake bottom depression and the southernmost sonic drill hole No. SDH 186, which intersected kimberlite, lies within 100 metres of shore and in 20 metres of water.
