fuddle,

""What I am looking forward to is when Pit #3 comes in with great results and then the speculation begins as to what they will find when they go underground. """

If you review prior news releases carefully, you may have noted that pit#3 lies right on top of the reported 60 degree trend of thicker kimberlite....IF pit#3 results duplicate Pit#2 results, here is a speculation for you to consider: the trend of thicker kimberlite may also represent the axis of injection...suggesting that the thicker kimberlite has the higher grades....a hypothetical reason could be that diamonds having a high specific gravity lagged behind in the melt, where the more distal and thinner portions have a comparatively lower grade($US181.00 is still as good implied value per tonne), and the thicker portions have a higher grade.....now wouldn't that be a happy circumstance......if that is the case, I would assume that any underground bulk sampling would be from a decline driven right down the high grade, thick section of the dyke:-))
regards,
teevee
