russett: You write so graphically, I can almost see all these holes blowing and spewing. I have read your post a number times, trying to visualize the eruptive processes of mother nature. As you have taken time and effort to put this in perspective, would you be willing to tell me if I am even close to 'getting' what you were talking about? 1. Pipe Theory: One blast. Good stuff remaining vertically inside the cone of the blow-hole. 2. Horizontal Version: One or many pipes blow stuff that spreads over the field around them. The good stuff is not in the pipe(s), but spread throughout the field upon which it was deposited. 3. Stacked Pipes Version: Very similar to Horizontal Version, but with the addition of a percolating aspect. Spewing, and spewing again, and spewing through - to form horizontal layers that are not inconsistent with the horizontal approach, but more dynamic, richer. Come on, russett, tell me if I'm off my rocker - or close to seeing what you were talking about. ok? gsm

Russett, I like your vision of the event and I agree that it is hard not to come to the conclusion you have suggested for the possibility of diamonds. Here is a Boulay answer to a question I asked in early April: exchange2000.com “Larry asks that if Marum is drilling the "facies", can the kimberlite pipe be far away? I suppose there are several answers, ranging from "No!" to Maybe!" to "Who Cares!". We are looking for diamonds, not for pipes. The idea is to validate the target rocks as economic diamond hosts whether they be pipes or flat layers. I financed mines for fifteen years and I'll take flat layers any day.” Now re-read the Boulay/Jesse message that Jesse re-posted from mid-March: exchange2000.com “ For a while, the location of pyroclastic production pipes will be important as ore guides to the big layered deposits. In fact, our current exploration programs are focused on locating pipe vents (aka "kimberlite pipes").” While this may not be a total contradiction, it is confusing when you are trying to understand Ricks' geological model and exploration method. Maybe the answer to my question should have been “who cares! We are looking for concentrations of metal bearing sulfites!” At the recent Ashton Mines AGM, they showed a neat graphic showing fault line intersects with kimberlites they have drilled. All of the important diamond bearing kimberlites were along the fault lines. Austin indicated that this was significant and a source of inspiration in their exploration model. I wonder if fault lines will be important to this model as well. Larry M.
