Your question,
Then why the heck can't they find them -they should have a signature on the aeromag.

My response,
Magnetic surveys only work if the pipes have a different magnetic signature than their surrounding host substrate. If the pipes are buried in their own spew, they will not look any different than their surroundings.

If you believe that all pipes can be found by running Mag/EM surveys over the prospective area please back up your comments with references. I want to read them.

Speaking of ACA, weren't they the ones who thought they had a field of kimberlite pipes, until they took a closer look at the Mag charts and realized many of the signatures were the metal well heads in the oilfields?

cheers again, russett

Theoretically, these pipes (if they exist) should be no harder to find than the multiple pipes located at Fort La Cornu in Saskatchewan. They too are covered with wide magmatic caps, giving them the appearance of huge mushrooms. And, Yes, I have noticed that MMU promoters no longer mention the theory that the location of pipes will be predicted by the presence of anomalies in surface vegetation. I'm a shareholder, but skeptical.
