Seems to me GGL has found something years ago which is more than you can say for "other" diamond plays.
From a recent NR:
"De Beers, 60-per-cent owner and project operator of the joint venture with GGL Diamond, has spent over $6-million to date on the project. Located 8.5 km southwest of Mountain Province's Hearne kimberlite pipe, the
kimberlite sill was discovered in August, 1996. At the time, a
125.2-kilogram (kg) sample from the drill cuttings, unavoidably diluted with granite country rock, yielded 67 microdiamonds greater than 0.075 millimetre. An indicator mineral train that reflected a high count and exceptionally good diamond chemistry had led GGL geologists to the sill location."
