Mornin' Folks! Ashton just can't be stopped-- another great pipe, and we're just gettin' warmed up. Small NR, but it's proof positive.

The two largest macrodiamonds display maximum dimensions of 1.35 millimetres and 0.95 millimetre, and are clear and colourless.

Boing-- I read this as, "We scored a major hit." When ACA says gemstone, they mean it. While early, the odds of instance isolation are very slight-- meaning, great pipe.

The results are among the best received to date from the Buffalo Hills program, and indicate clearly the requirement for further sampling of kimberlite K-91 to assess its diamond potential.

Again, as has been discussed in the past, Ashton is very careful in saying anything they can't back up with threefold proof. I read this as, "We seriously believe this pipe has big potential for a high gem quality diamond count, and will mini-bulk asap."

-And to think there are mega-more targets...

Just more evidence of the magnitude of this discovery.
imHo

Cheers,
