Well, a fairly standard release, until you get to the K6 part:

During the initial stages of processing of the K6 samples a 0.76 carat diamond was recovered. This circular crystal is bright yellow, clear and transparent and contains no obvious inclusions. This is an encouraging result suggesting the potential of K6 to host larger diamonds of good quality. Larger samples will be required to determine grade and value accurately. Analysis of K6 samples is continuing.

Now we're getting into high value rareties! - Gem quality, and good-sized, canary yellow diamond. This is what I was referring to when I said that such stones can greatly enhance deposit value.

I also like the core K14B sample @ 43ct/100tonne.
The 14C is surprising. Frank F., you were dead on in calling that one! :) Obviously we need much more samples for true assessment (naturally).
- - - - -
These results confirm that K14 contains a population of diamonds of commercial size while continuing to show the high degree of variability...
- This is a definite foreshadow to bulk sampling commencement.

Again, very little associated information is supplied. This seems to support the theory that K14 is the mother, and B&C are phases? K14A was drilled to 200m and stopped in K, so it appears that's the main pipe (old news).

Comments folks?
