DB has shipped 3.4t's of concnetrate to SA for sorting / grading from Pele's Cristal site in wawa -

I'm not dissing ACA results - they are what is expected to make a mine in the north - but if these same #'s are applied to wawa - this is a cheap mine! And to date - Pele has pulled up similiar #'s from thier Cristal and Dom results and thier showings are measured in kilometers of diamond bearing material starting on surface from the5 separate diatremes.

Dom Per results - 100kg gives up 434 diamonds of which 44 didn't fall thru the 300 micron mesh (macro category)
Cristal results - 171 kg yields 327 diamonds - 30 of which are in the 300 micron and 13 in the 425 micron!

Access is off a highway
80% have been called clear and colourless gems and the octehedrals are on display on the website

If you want to know what the grade curves are suggesting to date - you call the company - but it's a number that is well worth chasing !

They already took a 100t sample a couple weeks back and could pop in and do it tomorrow - the weather isn't an issue like it is in Nunavit.

As Will Purcell has noted - it may only take a .2 cpt grade to make a mine in wawa - that will not happen in nunavit
