The WSP camp at Snap Lake is pretty isolated and the crew they have are all professionals. Not many people coming and going and the sample is bagged up on site. Oddly enough when your job is moving two hundred plus tons of rock you dont spend much time looking at the individual pieces:)
I know this will sound odd but I've know miners and geologists who worked in diamond mines underground for years and they never saw a diamond "in situ" or in the rock they were moving. When you consider that there are only a few carats of diamonds in a ton of rock it helps to explain why. Imagine a loaf of bread with a few grains of salt crystal in it. Rip the bread into a number of pieces and what are your chances of finding one of those salt grains.
