Another favourite .......

Me and Tripitaka.

I have photo's of him up around my lab.

Keeps me sane while I'm in the Plains of Despair.

I read in the paper yesterday that Adelaide Resources and Iluka Resources have announced the discovery of a high grade mineral sand........

Why is important to me?

Read on....

Adelaide Resources and Iluka Resources yesterday announced the discovery of thicker and higher grade mineral sand intersections on a drill at the Tripitaka discovery in South Australia.

The Colona Joint Venture parties described results at the site in the eastern Eucla Basin of far west SA as "highly encouraging".

The Trippitaka discovery - including high zircon grades by world standards - was announced last month by Adelaide and Iluka Resources.

The companies said the mineralisation might extend for up to 2km over a width of 1km, including a high-grade core of significant dimensions. Zircon is the most desirable componenet in a mineral sands discovery.

The Colona joint venture parties descrive the geological character and setting of Tripitaka as very similar to Iluka's 2004 Jacinth and Ambrosia discoveries, 90km northwest.

The companies said more closely spaced drilling was proposed as a matter of priority early next year, to provide data to enable a resource estimate to be published.

Adelaide Resources said the Eucla Basin was becoming established as a world class, zircon-rich mineral sands province.




Well, how about that. I think someone in that office was a Monkey fan just like me.
I wonder what else will be named after the boy priest.
Nice one! Posted by Picasa

Hey there Peg, thanks for the great comment. Sounds like you've got a pretty big pup!
I've never been to Canada, but it is definitely at the top of my list. I've been to Singapore and Jakarta so far, and I wouldn't mind going to Russia. I hear they have entire rig crews that are chicks. There's way too much testosterone out here.
I love the snow. I work in about 45°C heat in summer, and it never snows out here (or at home for that matter).
Take care Peg and stay warm!
