I'm thinking that the farther you are along the sill (the level outflow) from the dyke (the vertical feeder conduit), the thinner the chromite deposits are going to be. His analogy with water flow is really quite apt, as we're dealing with fluid dynamics. From his geology 2008 map, we can see that the flow terminates to the NE at the Probe claim. I bet you Probe really didn't get much mineralization, as the magma would already have been depleted of its minerals.

My speculation only. There may be multiple dykes not yet identified. There may be other factors I don't appreciate. Blah Blah.
