George,

Could you respond to Gabi's comments about the RC drilling vs. the WSP blast and shovel technique, and whether the drilling breaks a significant number of large stones or not? I picture the RC drilling crating a tight core and don't understand how any diamonds could be broken other than those that are at the edges of the drill core, but I confess I don't know how the RC drilling mechanics work.

If RC drilling breaks a lot of diamonds, what percentage do they break? Does anyone really know? You think it makes much difference? TIA
