TBD. They still have the 1 fragment from one of the original ~8 kg samples from one of the first holes.
Since then they have released 2 more drilling programs.
Approximately:
Drilled 3 holes - Hit kimberlite Holes 34, 36, 37
Result -- Unsure of size of structure, 1 diamond fragment found
Drilled 10 holes Holes 51, 52, 53, 54, 56, 55, 57 (no kimberlite), 58, 59, 60.
Result -- Roughly 20 hectares, pancake style with a thicker spot in the middle.
Drilled 6 holes - Holes 63, 64, 65, 66, 71, 73.
Result -- Roughly 50 hectares, pancake style with a thicker spot in the middle.
There are not that many micro diamond recovery programs happening right now..so I suspected BBB was behind the queue at SRC with LDI's program.
LDI today confirmed that they have processed their 120 kg samples at the SRC with no diamonds found.
Caustic fusion is slow on top of the Quality Control and Security measures that take place.
BBB's samples probably started not too long ago after LDI's heavy minerals (not diamonds :)) moved into sorting.
Nothing yet to rule out BBB.
